Buttermere Sailbeck

YC ran the Buttermere Sailbeck fellrace on Saturday. This tough Lakeland race packs 4,650 ft of climbing into its 9.5 miles. It heads over Ard Crags from Buttermere, before returning via Causey Pike and Crag Hill. There's a fantastic descent from the top of Crag Hill via Whiteless Pike back to Buttermere. The race took YC just under 2 hours to complete, including a swift 12 minute whizz from Crag Hill to the finish. All of which calls, of course, for some training on beer - it's a vital part of the fellrunner's diet.
