Looks a great route. Like you, I know the 3 peaks route well having done that race 4 times. I’m considering this as my second 50 miler but with more elevation than my first.

that what i was like thinking i was fall die everytime couple of mins

good decision guys. saftey should always come first. you had the guts to go out and give it a go and i'm sure having seen your other videos that you have a complete round in you. good luck on the next attempt!

That is some effort, if you are carrying a virus, facing those conditions something is going to give. Good vid

booked on for 2025, slightly shitting it lol

Well done everyone..What action camera were you using. Fabulous footage..🤩

Hi, nice video. Fenix makes some nice lights and I recently picked up the Fenix HM65R-T V2.0. I like the warm and cool beams, but I was a little disappointed that they won't let you use both together in this version. The warm light does go up to 800 lumens now so that is a plus.

Cracking effort and love the attitude, really like your videos. I'm off to the lakes this weekend for LIaD and have been watching your efforts for tips. No shame in a DNF when it is right, if it makes you feel better in 2014 I DNFd at mile 127/145 of the GUCR so feel your pain of being close! It took me 10 years and 3 more attempts but beat it this year. Go smash the next one!

I have this loop planned for my next trip to the Lakes in early November. But I will start at the southern point and go anti clockwise. I may bail out early and follow the lake for the last few miles if it is as boggy as it was for you! Thanks for your great content guys ❤

Great effort in those conditions, really enjoyed this!

I just used this model for the first time tonight during my trail run. The warm+white light is brilliant. As you said in the video, the warm light truly gives definition of rocks, trees, just basically everything lol.

Only just caught up on this one despite it being on my "watch later" list somce you released it. You said at the end of your last one that you weren't sure if you would go to the Lakeland 100 again... Any further thoughts?! Ash

Unlucky guys, not for the lack of trying that's for sure. Hope the injuries have healed.

Can you camp en route ?

Please can someone send me the gpx, I can’t seem to access it

When I did this in October last year the ascent out of Bradwell was diverted round the quarry as one of the fields had a sinkhole. Was that still the case when you did it? As I’m doing it again this weekend. Great video , some different sights from the summer run you did of it.

Marley looks like he's having a lot of fun, well done another great vlog 👍

Well done team!

Well done both. Glad you have had a good break. Good to see Cheryl's knee is not giving to much trouble. Enjoyed seeing the latter Miles of the LL100. Looks like Marley enjoyed himself too. 👊👍

What a glorious run. Scenery was stunning. Loved the expression on Marley's face when you wanted him to climb up into the rocks (really?) and the way he kept looking back check he was going the right way. Hope the knee holds up Cheryl. I can sympathise, losing a few months myself with MCL trouble.

In awe that you went back so soon after the race. Total respect. Marley makes it look so easy on the tough trails too. I will add that apart from the aid station locations, majority of it i didn't recognise 🤣. Very surprised that whole trip was 25 miles. I would have thought a lot more. Will absolutely do the the coniston to ambleside cumbria way route at some point. It will give me a different perspective on the area. Best video to date also 💪

You were very assertive with those cows Cheryl 😂 Well done great run. 👍

Well done both. Definitely better in the daylight😂. We use that route quite a lot for our training. Shame it’s always in darkness for the Lakeland

Gorgeous route.

Well done both of you and Marley was having the time of his life - thanks for sharing this with us

Well done guys. 👍🏼

Cracking run 👍👏 well done ! Good to see niggle didn’t get worse, 24 miles a long way! Marley did really well! Nice well behaved doggy 👏👏

Another fantastic upload. Glad the knee is feeling better, mine hasn't been the same since the HOWUM 30 in May. Patella tendinitis is plaguing me at the minute, hopefully only having 2 Half Marathon's to complete before the end of the year, so that will be less impact on my knee. Ready for The Lap May '25.

What a beautiful day. Gorgeous scenery. Great video guys. Marley is having a blast.

Brilliant guys well done 🏃🏃 sorry but Marley is the star in this video.🐕

Hi Gary and Cheryl, gutted for you, but sometimes it just doesn’t go for you, you 2 are as hard as nails so the only time you won’t get round is if your bodies let you down, absolutely no shame in DNF, to cover the distance and ascent/decent you did was still an incredible achievement, 50 miles is the furthest I’ve been which is nothing compared to what you do, I did the Bronte Way in November and that is still the hardest thing I have ever done, I had goretex boots but water went over the top and for about 30 miles no matter how many times i changed my socks they were wet again within 2 minutes, my feet at the end were similar to how Gary described his, massive blisters on forefoot’s and lots elsewhere. I am sure you will be back, keep doing what you do, you are both amazing. All the best Tito 👍😊

Brave effort. That’s a lot of pack weight. Thanks for sharing. Great weather once again in the Lakes. That weather will sap your strength and inner belief. Next time 😂

Absolutely brilliant video. I chatted to you on the start line and then headed to the back of the pack for the duration. Your video really shows the strength of will required to take on something like the 100 but also shows how exposing it is and the crazy roller coaster of emotions you can experience. I think it's so important to have videos like this that celebrate the effort and the experience whilst acknowledging that sometimes it just doesn't go to plan. Thanks for the video and looking forward to seeing more of Marley on future vids!

Thanks for the video - brought back a lot of memories and sorry it didn’t quite work out for you this year.

Finally got round watching this. I'm an expert at DNF's as you know and i applaud you both for the determination right up to Ambleside when you have to say 'enough is enough'. You're still heroes and legends in my book and i certainly know when knees and feet become an issue. You'll be back though one day and stronger. When things like covid etc happen in the same year, you think you have recovered but your body hasn't. It takes more than a year to get fit again. Bloody great video though and the best one yet of the Lakeland 100. Respect to you both.

Well done excellent effort you two hope you crack it next time. I cannot imagine the state of Gary’s feet after 90+ miles mine were destroyed after a mere 50km on the Race to the Stones a few weeks ago.

See I made the final cut on the Gatesgarth climb, I remember you two coming by.

Well done guys, you live to fight another day. Be great to see you running some of our 50s and 100s down here in the south west and south Wales.

I passed you just before Howtown, I think it was, I couldn't remember your names so said "you're the guys from TH-cam eh?". You said you were struggling then so what an achievement to make it to Ambleside. The 50 is hard so what you 100 (105 miles) guys do is mind boggling 🤯. Great video BTW. I hope you recover quickly.

Well done both - an incredible effort and account of what it takes to run the 100! Loved hearing your thoughts as you progressed. I DNF’d in 2017 and feel there is unfinished business here for me : ) Must have passed you at some point as I ran the 50 this year. I know exactly what you mean about the muddy descent into Haweswater!!! Well done 👏🏻

Epic efforts!

It takes so much courage to know when enough is enough. Well done both, you should be proud of the effort and what was achieved

Great seeing you again guys. Totally gutted you didn’t make to the end. But totally the right decision made. Thanks for sharing your journey. See you out on the fells 🤙🏼

You guys are so awesome. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are an inspiration to us, your fellow runners. Your honesty shines through in your films, you should be extremely proud of this (and your many other) achievements. Many congratulations on an incredible effort!

Brilliant effort guys, as they say there's always next year x

Omg you two are so resilient - huge well done! Also a lovely video - I settled down to watch it with a beer after work and was not disappointed, some beautiful scenery especially around sunset and dawn.

Huge effort and you gave it your absolute all, well done guys that is some monster distance. I think its also commendable that you stopped so close to the end knowing it was the right and safe thing to do, its so easy to get sole focus in situations like that.

a sensible decision - no shame in not finishing - if you had carried on you might have ruined both knees and feet and then taking ages to heal - and marley would be very cross with you lol thanks for sharing this with us

An amazing effort guys, you should be very proud. You did absolutely the right thing by stopping when you did, there will always be next year. Keep up the great work

Bad luck guys. I was marshalling at Ambleside and had said hello to you before the start on Friday. I wasn’t sure if you had DNF’d or not so didn’t want to raise the subject. It was quite a low personal moment for me in the long shift at Ambleside to see you both in pain and so disappointed. I hope you come back next year and breeze through Ambleside with more luck on your side. Keep up with the content. It’s so inspiring.
