Lakes in Day - 8 October 2016

A run up Blencathra or Helvellyn & the Dodds.  Both are pretty challenging races, but for Tim Pigott, that was just the start.  After Helvellyn, he continued over Fairfield and then on into Ambleside.  Having got to Ambleside, his race was still far from over.  He continued along the Western side of Lake Windermere over Claife Heights and eventually crossed the finishing line not far short of the top of Morecambe Bay.  It was a total of 50 miles with over 13,000 feet of ascent.  He set off at 8:00 am on Saturday morning and finished  at 11:09 pm on Saturday night.  

What an amazing performance.
