On the 23rd of December, I will be taking on the Bay Limestone Round. A 55 mile adventure starting at Grange-over-Sands and finishing on the iconic Arnside Pier. The route includes 13 summits, with 8,700 feet of ascent. While taking in many stunning views the south lakes have to offer.

I have had my eye on this challenge since its inception in 2020. The finish is within sight of my parent's house and where I grew up. So safe to say I know some of the area pretty well.

Taking on this 55 miles route is definitely a prospect that scares me. It is significantly further than I have run before. So completing the distance will be a massive achievement.

I am hoping this route will take me around 10 hours. I will be catching the train across the Bay early to get to the start. Then getting underway at 06:20. So hoping to finish around 16:00 and celebrate with some world-famous Chips from Arnside chippy!

While taking on this massive challenge. I hope to raise money for Mind.
