Me and my mate did 3 peaks 6.5hrs but we ran from top of wernside to bottom of Ingleborough and marched the full walk after we said we'd never do again as we've done it dozens of times now ill stroll wernside but no intrest in other 2 it's a boring shit walk 1 Quote Link to post

The Royal Marines have to do 30 miles in under 8 hours, mixed speed march/run, not all of them do…….40 miles on foot, with a dog, lamping from midnight to dawn is frankly ludicrous !
