Lakeland Four Passes
On a rainy Saturday Matthew Holt travelled to Rosthwaite for the Lakeland 4 Passes, a 19 mile race with 5,140 feet of ascent, which took runners around a circular route via Styhead Tarn, Wasdale Head, Black Sail Youth Hostel and Honister. The week’s heavy rain resulted in ankle deep streams instead of paths, muddy fields and slippery ascents making the course slow going at times. Matthew finished the route in 4 hours 37 minutes.
