    Blencathera or Saddleback is a brilliant fell to run. Some of the ascent/descent routes are awesome scrambles and some are tough but steady trails. The views south across the Lake District are stunning!

      epic views over Keswick and Derwent. Gnarly, technical decent option down Halls Fell ridge
