Starts in Boston, Lincolnshire and crosses into Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, crossing through the Cotswolds, Somerset and finishes in Abbotsbury in Dorset.

The route was set up years ago to raise awareness of Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.

The route passes through some of the most beautiful of the British countryside and is not a well trodden path, so it really takes you to some remote areas.

The Hyalite Picnic also know as The Hyalicknic and The Hyalite Peaknic is a backcountry triathlon modeled after the original Grand Teton Picnic. The Hyalite Picnic is an ode to one of the most beautiful canyons in the area. This route contains a fulfilling blend of mountain activities and reminds you that a big day in the mountains can be accessed right from town. This canyon is also extremely important to the area as it is home to our drinking watershed and contains 80% of our drinking water. Be sure to soak in the view throughout the day and appreciate how much this canyon has to offer.

The route passes the DNT mountain lodges Leirvassbu and Spiterstulen, before the final ascent to Galdhøpiggen. The last ascent is mainly rocky, with some short passages on snow/glacier.
