  • Day 2: approx 20 miles | 32 km, Great Langdale to Keswick
  • Day 3: approx 26 miles | 42 km, Keswick to Carlisle

Day 1 follows open countryside, Beacon Tarn, Coniston Water, Tarn Hows, Elterwater and the Langdale Valley before an overnight stay at a bunkhouse in Great Langdale. Day 2 includes a climb over Stake Pass, descent into Borrowdale, riverside and woodland trails and shoreline running on Derwent Water into Keswick with accommodation at the Denton Bunkhouse. Day 3 passes through Skiddaw Forest, climbs to High Pike, then descends via Caldbeck and farmland to Carlisle for the final overnight stay.
