Broad Stand - Bit of a step

Broad Stand - the short cut between Scafell Pike and Scafell that is encountered after approximately 15 hours of running (if on schedule).

It is only about a 3 metre rock step but a slip will drop you some 20m or more. Guys, I recommend we find some very, very nice person happy to sit and tend to a rope. If you would like to be that hero/heroinne, then please add a comment to this post.

Helpers - Leg Five - Honister Pass to Keswick

If you can help us through what will, without doubt, be the slowest and most painful section (for us) of this beast then please leave a comment here.

Helpers - Leg Four - Wasdale to Honister Pass

Please leave a comment here if you can help on this penultimate leg over the Gables.

Helpers - Leg Three - Dunmail to Wasdale

Please leave a comment here if you can help on this leg which contains the delightful Broad Stand dilemma of tackling a rocky outcrop or losing 15 minutes going round it...

Helpers - Leg Two - Threlkeld to Dunmail

Please post comments here if you can help on this long and lurvely second leg along the Helvellyn range.

Helpers - Leg One - Keswick to Threkeld

Please post comments here if you can help on this first leg. It's the dramatic starter with a punishing first climb up Skiddaw and a lengthy ascent of Blencathra before plunging into Threkeld.

Peak No. 1 - Skiddaw

Do we really want to do this?
