​Solo and Unsupported - Sunday Oct 16th 2005 - By Mark Thomas, the current record holder.
All the rock climbs in the Lakes listed in Ken Wilson's Classic Rock book, climbed in 24 hours, on foot.
The Marmot Dark Mountains is one of the toughest mountain running events in the UK, if not Europe.... top teams pit themselves against the British elements & hills, overnight in the middle of winter.. Its not surprising that this event is small, its hardcore to the maximum
This is the 3rd & final article related to the interviews on Talk Ultra with Ian Corless about Navigation for Ultra Runners
In conjunction with Keswick Mountain Festival we are giving sound advice for runners as the nights get even longer & the temperature starts to plummet. Photo Credits: Marmot Dark Mountains/Ian Corless, MountainRun & Barney Whiteside
I had an interview with Ian Corless, from Talk Ultra, just after the Berghaus Trail Chase. In conjunction with Ian & MountainRun, this Basic Navigation article was produced.
The Chase was on during the weekend of the 16th & 17th of August in the North Yorkshire Moors....
MountainRun were out in full force on the weekend of the Lakes 100 & 50 mile races. Each year for the last 4 years we have run the Buttermere Check Point, this year we looked after Ambleside as well.
I gave a talk about night navigation for ultra running on the recent UTLD 100 & 50 Recce weekend
I trained all year for this race, only to drop before CP2, this blog is about why & the psychology & physical state behind it...
