My first attempt at the Lakeland 50 Ultramarathon - 2023
My 'A' race of the year - Lakeland 50. It's been a tough few weeks - I wasn't sure I'd get to the start line, let alone the finish line, but here we are!
What a fantastic event - from pitching up on the Friday and the atmosphere around the camp, to the actual event on Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait to do it again next year, and who knows, maybe qualify for the 100?

Thank you 😊
Excellent achievement well done 👏 The weather was pretty wild at times wasn’t it? I described the course to my wife at the finish as beautiful but brutal!! Lol 😆 Your recce videos were very helpful especially in the darkness after Ambleside 👍
Congratulations, just been accepted for next year and your video has been really helpful 👍🏻

Amazing, and even though I don't know you very emotional. I have a place for 2024 and am both excited and terrified!
