If you go down to the woods today, you’ll probably find a photographer hiding in a bush 📸

Remember, run, walk, shuffle or crawl, you can still tell them at work that you ran 47 miles at the weekend. Nobody actually cares where you finish. They just think you’re a bit odd.

Best thing you can do is smile, and enjoy the very Best of The Lake District…

The Beautiful Ultra!!!

Into the wee small hours. We’ll be out there with you until the sun comes back around…

Left foot, right foot. Nobody care how long it takes. At 24 hours, you are still quicker than every bad excuse. 😉

47 miles and the views just keep coming and coming, so don’t forget to look up.

I wouldn’t worry about picking up milk…

Beautiful trails in, beautiful trails out, and just like that it’s gone…

And then there’s Ambleside. The little Chamonix in The Lakes. Nothin but gear stores, coffee shops and the odd souvenir shop selling knock off, lettin-on LAP merch.

Beautiful trails in, beautiful trails out, and just like that it’s gone…

The blur before The START.
Have I trained enough for this, do I know where I’m going, where’s my car keys, how many slices of pizza am I going to have did I charge my headtorch???.

Just make it to the start on time. Everything else will look after itself…

The breakfast feed station. Boss thinks we still need, little, just warm enough to slam, Italian morning on the go espresso shots. Not melt your face off English doubles! ☕️

There’s nothing in running like a LAP feed station to put that spring back in your step.

Let’s face it, it’s really all about the food 😉
