The Derwentwater Dawdle route is stunning. This year we were lucky enough to have a beautifully clear day, and the views across Derwentwater are breathtaking. This isn't an easy course - the elevation is more than 200ft a mile and there are three tough climbs - Cat Bells, Dock Tarn and Walla Crag - but it is immensely rewarding, and the cut-offs allow you time for plenty of hiking on the technical terrain and for stopping to appreciate the scenery. I found the climbs exhilarating. I'm not a natural on the technical descents, but was happy to walk them and run on the more runnable terrain.

The event is very well organised and exceptionally good value for money. It has a lovely friendly feel and great food and support. I would highly recommend it.

Once again Ascend Events put on a brilliant event! The weather was great and the location is stunning. The course is challenging in places but the beautiful views certainly make it worthwhile. As always the friendliness of the event, the organisation, refreshments and value for money were second to none. Already signed up for next year!

One of the best walks I have done to date, (comparison to around 12 others) fantastic views, good paths, great support and organisation.Feeding stations we good and everyone we met and spoke to on the day were really firendly, both walkers and runners. Well done to all, I have done the Silverdale (twice) which is run by the same people and have signed up for the Lakeland 4 Passes on the 29th September.
