Headlines over the weekend have been highlighting what has been some of the worst storms to face ‘The Original Mountain marathon’, causing it to be called off for the first time in it’s 40 year history.
The Original Mountain Marathon, near Keswisk, Cumbria
Each year several hundred people take part in this mountain marathon, a fell run over very challenging terrain in the Lake District.
It involves teams of two, carrying all clothing, equipment, tent, sleeping bag, and their food for 36 hours, during the run. They must also navigate their own route and camp out overnight.
