MOUNTAIN SKILLS FOR RUNNERS

✔️ Route choice and mountain safety
✔️ Clothing and equipment advice
✔️ Trail and mountain running techniques

What's the collection name for this, a pile of 'Correx' signs?

Just interested. Not my bad...

Yep, a good 'bumbag' is a classic piece of kit, and a favourite for many training runs and races.

Pennine 39

39 miles. Wild Pennines. High Cup Nick. Cross Fell. Greg’s Hut.

This is not your average trail race, it’s a full day out in some of the most dramatic and remote landscapes in England.

The Pennine 39 from NAV4 Adventure follows one of the finest sections of the Pennine Way, taking in High Force, Cauldron’s Snout, Cow Green, High Cup Nick and the mighty Cross Fell traverse before finishing in Alston.

Expect runnable trails, big skies, tough climbs, friendly checkpoints and the kind of atmosphere NAV4 have become known for; low key, sociable and brilliantly adventurous.

Whether you’re chasing a fast time or simply want an unforgettable day moving through wild country, this is one to put firmly on your calendar.

📆 4 July 2026
📍Alston, Cumbria

So many of these are used by so many of us. Ideal for navigation, tradition, selfie taking, heritage, collecting and visiting.

Lets see if we can get them protected, please?
