Long run : Great Bourne, Starling Dodd, Red Pike, High Stile, High Crag, Haystacks, Brandreth, The Gables & Kirk Fell from Bowness Knott
A tough twenty miler with plenty of summits that can be hiked or run with 6800 feet of ascent. The route takes in some of the best fells in Lakeland and covers most of the summits on the north side of the Ennerdale Valley. There is always the option to make the walk shorter and exit down to the valley path at multiple points, the easiest path back down if you do want an early exit is from Scarth Gap just before the ascent of Haystacks.
Parking - at Bowness Knott CA23 3AX
