On 23^rd August 2008 I did a circuit of the Lakes 3000ers (Scafell, Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw; 44 miles/11000 ft) in just under 13 hours. The route I chose, starting and finishing in Portinscale, avoided most of the road encountered on the traditional 3000ers route. Consequently it is a bit slower than the normal route, but also much nicer. Most of the route I took is described in Ronald Turnbull’s “Lakeland Mountain Challenges”, with the exception of the St John’s in the Vale to Lattrigg car park route, which employs a permitted path under the A66 to reach the disused railway and hence the track up and round Lattrigg to reach the usual Skiddaw ascent. There’s not a lot of information around on running times for the 3000ers, so I’ve included my schedule.

Nigel's Cycling events in 2007

In 2006 I had a knee injury which kept me out of running for the second half of the year and most of 2007. I did not race at all in 2007, but instead did lots of cycling including the Northern Rock Cyclone and The Cumberland Challenge.
