Nearly there in 2005 (Wendy Dodds)

This is a south to north, high-level traverse of 21 Lakeland peaks involving some 35 miles and 12000 feet of ascent.  Devised by Sue and Dick Courchee, it was first completed in 2005.  It starts at Broughton Mills in Dunnerdale and finishes at the Moot Hall, Keswick, although it may be completed in either direction.  The route complements the north-east to south-west line of the Joss Naylor Challenge but is intended as a more informal outing without time limits, although completions should be registered (see below).
