Mountain Marathon

Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon 2019

It’s three years since my last mountain marathon, which was also Saunders – tough, but enjoyable. It was primarily the social aspect which drew me to this year’s event in the Howgills.

Hooray, a mountain marathon in the Lake District! At night. In January. With a weather warning. What could possibly go wrong?

Mountain marathons. Just when you think you’ve escaped their clutches, you end up doing three in one season.
