For 2026 we are taking on a new race. MUNCASTER LUCK. Taking place Sunday 15th March 2026. 12 noon start. Entry on the day.

We used the Lakes 4 Passes route as a base, adding in Stake Pass to make it 5 passes and take it over 20 mile (22.5 mile and shy of 8,000ft in total). We seemed to have struck a bit of luck with the weather and it was dry when we set off from Wasdale Head. Although windy, it stayed dry as we headed over Black Sail, Scarth Gap, Honister, and until we got to the Langstrath valley. We actually started to think it might have been possible to go higher after all, and this […]
