The route starts at Lanty Slees Stickle Barn and begins with an immediate climb on technical paths, passing under several crags and dropping to the Old Dungeon Ghyll pub. It continues through Mickleden, crosses Great Langdale Beck, and passes Stool End Farm. The course then climbs past Red Tarn and around Pike O'Blisco, reaches the Three Shires Stone, descends Wrynose Pass briefly on road, and returns via Fell Foot Bridge, Little Langdale Tarn, the quarry and Baysbrown Farm/Campsite. The final section follows The Cumbria Way back to the Old Dungeon Ghyll and returns to the Stickle Barn. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
