Course
The route is a circular, single-lap trail of 20 kilometres around the shores of Buttermere and Crummock Water. The profile is undulating. The course is fully marked so navigation experience is not required. Terrain includes lakeshore trails, hard-packed rocky trails, grassy tracks and woodland singletrack. The western shoreline of Crummock Water is generally wet and rough underfoot and is described as more technical; the later sections use more hard-packed trails.
