Skiddaw is pretty straight forward with decent kit and fitness which I'm sure you have. I've done it a couple of times years ago. Went up sharp edge I think and down tother side and back round to start.Haven’t done it before mate, looks like it’s about 10k so I’m guessing it’ll take us about 3-4 hours up and down with breaks. It’s one of Wainwright’s and I’ve not done it before, think it’s the 6th highest in England. Weather looks good so hopefully I’ll keep dry unlike last weekend doing loughrigg fell.....
Think that’s what we’re planning on doing... as for kit.. she’s always moaning I take, and make her take, too much... rather have everything I may need that not enough!!Skiddaw is pretty straight forward with decent kit and fitness which I'm sure you have.

5 mile run today. Went for low intensity but ended up sprinting the last couple of miles. Pace of 7 mins 45 in total . Pleased with that after the first mile was 8 mins 30 . Managed 7 mins 11 and 12 respectively for the last 2 miles.
Blencathra is next on our listRealised I was mixing up sharp edge, which is on blencathra with longside edge on skiddaw. They are quite different. Sharp edge is a much narrower scramble.
Best 5k time for a few months today ,just under 22. 10 super slow miles tomorrow towards Dunham Massey
Quality mate, I’ve gone out again today and finished in 24:16... happy with it as it’s a hilly course.... I’m aiming for sub 23 on one of the easier routes around me next week.Best 5k time for a few months today ,just under 22. 10 super slow miles tomorrow towards Dunham Massey
