I took on this challenge because I got my electrolytes wrong in the GB ultras event last year and I am taking part in Lakeland 100 the same weekend this year. So I decided to do it solo and try be the first to do it unsupported. This was such a hard challenge.
I took all my food, electrolytes and everything to last the whole route. My water I got from flowing rivers and streams and used purifying tablets to clean the water.
The beacons way is not very well marked in places and I found myself lost plenty of times. To the back end I was really lost wondering around trying to find the trail which was really tough.
Parts are really over grown and access can be difficult. If anyone is going to attempt this then I’d definitely say recce it because it’s a tough place to be lost.
such an amazing adventure and such a beautiful place
