You can sign up as a team or pod of up to 8. Or join as an individual and be connected with others to make a pod of swimmers of similar ability.
There will be stamps you need to get for your pod to prove you visited the key peaks and places on the route. The rest is up to you.
This is about enjoyment not endurance. Its a huge challenge. Its epic and it offers a whole new way to enjoy the landscape and experience the wilder side of the Lake District.
Youll hike with all of your kit and when you reach the waters edge, the Ruckraft comes into play. Simply inflate it, get into your wetsuit, pop your bag in the dry bag and attach it to the Ruckraft. And away you go.
Your entry fee covers entry into the event, 3 nights accommodation (probably camping), food and drink (but bring your own snacks), lifeguard cover for your team and a Ruckraft.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
