Pennine Barrier 50
Report by Lucy Smith
On Saturday I and my sister took on the Pennine Barrier Ultra. The route was 50 miles starting and finishing in Malham, with the Yorkshire three peaks thrown in for good measure. It was a very hot sunny day which meant we had fabulous views from all the peaks. The route was extremely busy with lots of people completing various events, which meant lots of weaving in and out of the crowds. In total there was 8,500 ft of ascent and just over 50 miles. We finished in 14 hours 18 mins. Lovely route but those climbs were brutal.
