Lakes in a Day is a 50 mile north to south traverse of the Lake District.
It starts from the village of Caldbeck and finishes in the village of Cartmel. There’s plenty of ascent to be had with close to 4000m (13000ft).
The route takes you over Blencathra with a descent down Halls Fell Ridge (although on this occasion the weather was too bad), over the stunning Helvellyn Ridge and by the western shoreline of Lake Windermere.

Amazing! Brilliant running and in "less than ideal" 😂 conditions. I have just signed up for this year and just watched your video with a 50/50 split of excitement and terror
Bossed it! Well done mate. Those wading sections looked horrific 😅 How did that black jacket fare? I have the same one.
I’m just glad I did it in daylight! Yeah the jacket is good. Still need a long sleeve on underneath if you sweat a lot like me but waterproof and wind proof which I really appreciated at the top of Helvellyn! Thanks for watching!
Almost looked part swimming race there at Windermere! And unpleasant conditions to be up the bigger fells - amazing time given those added challenges! Epic run!
Thank you! It was certainly a challenge, but prepares me for my next mid winter challenge in January!
@@CotswoldTrailRunner does this race have 'arc' in its name perhaps...?!
Loved this, great video! 👍🏻
Excellent job 👏👏 Those conditions were brutal and to film while doing it just adds another challenge well done! 👍
Thanks! 😊 pulling out the camera when it was horrible and difficult actually distracted me for a little bit! 😂
Amazing, it looked brutal! x
Great to see those improving times over the years. I finished about 3 minutes behind you - I wondered if my voice would appear in your last clip! Again next year?
Nope, not next year, I found that tough enough, I may return in the future but 3 times is probably enough. You? Well done!
Great effort and what bad conditions you endured. Thanks so much for sharing. That flooded last section from Windermere looked awful especially in the dark!!!! Hope everyone made it out safely.
As far as I’ve heard everyone survived the Lake! Maybe life jackets next year!
I was the final finisher and can confirm that the water was still deep in the dark. I'm a six-footer and it was up to my thighs at times. I shudder to think of where that muddy water reached for more compact competitors.
Great time improvement and crazy conditions! Thanks for posting this awesome video. Well done dude!
Well done cracking effort in tough conditions 🙌
Thanks for putting this together. A couple of mates completed the course and following them on a map didn't really show how tough it was.
Glad you enjoyed it! I know what you mean! Seeing someone move so slowly on a map doesn't explain why! Those climbs were tough enough without the weather and wind! Glad your friends survived and made it back ok!
What a run Francois & what conditions, Epic doesn’t do it justice. Huge congratulations 👍
Many thanks Jon, It was epic, unrelenting at times but all part of the adventure. Have you done it? Or have I now put you off! 😂
Absolutely epic Francois! Certainly something that's on my to do list. Tough conditions that day mate! Huge kudos bud! 👏😎🤘
You'd love it Ben! I'd be happy to do something like that with you! It's certainly an adventure!
Thats not the Cotswolds! Great effort Francois. Fantastic time you must be pleased.
I like to broaden my horizons once in a while! Happy with that effort, no issues, no injuries, job done. Onto the Arc in January! 😬
Great running and video. Enjoyed it very much 👍
Cheers, thanks for the support. Hope all is well now and both are recovered. Great to see you at the start.
Great video! I remember going up helvellyn in torrential wind once, never experience anything like it. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and the support!
Amazing effort Francois! Well done on a brilliant run!
Many thanks!
Well done.. don’t know how you made that run look so easy on a brutal looking day. 👍🏼
Not sure I made it look easy, maybe just filmed the 'easier' parts! I wanted to convey the reality of running a mountain race, it's tough out there!
Just ridiculous! Well done!
Ridiculous is a word I've heard many times! 😂
Amazing Francois. What a stunning race, even if some of the views were obscured with a 'bit' of fog! Great achievement and especially in those conditions. Must be hard with those river crossings getting your feet completely soaked and then running on for a long time. Had you had these in races before? Congrats on a super race
Thanks Ben, yeah the river crossing so early really tests you as your feet are then wet for hours! I've done a few 'adventure' races like this before, but equally it's the luck of the draw with the weather! I've run in full waterproofs before, and in torrential rain so this was a mix really.
Quality content and congrats on the race! I’d love to know what your filming set up is? Camara quality an stabilisation is nice 👌 I’m running The Lap next year 75km, looking for something of this quality to film training an the event etc👌
Many thanks for watching and commenting. I just use a GoPro hero 11. It has built in stabilisation and also horizon lock so gives a super stable image even if I’m jumping over rivers or getting stuck in bogs! Can recommend 👍
Only 3 aid stations in 50 miles? That's a bit light on assistance especially for that distance, I would have thought every 10 miles was safer?
That's fairly standard I'd say, although between CP1 & 2 was a long time, and to be honest, because it's in the high fells, there isn't anywhere they could put an additional aid stations. They did have crew out on the course in case of an emergency. Makes you prepare better and ensure you have enough supplies! Thanks for watching!
