This is a 'low key' winter event with minimal support and a focus on winter mountain skills. A winter run of this type is tough and requires good navigational skills, experience and self reliance. While predominantly on good paths and trails, it is an unmarked route and in poor conditions some sections can be very tough to navigate.
Now well over a decade old, the TdeH has fast become a classic winter ultra run. Traditionally on the shortest Saturday before Christmas.
These events are very community based and very very fun. A good way to be introduced into a Winter Ultra and gain knowledge or enhance already learned skills.
Starting and finishing at Askham’s Community Centre on the edge of the Lakes, this is a tough circuit around Helvellyn covering 38 miles with around 2000m of total ascent and descent. All of the route follows footpaths, bridleways or minor lanes in a logical sequence around Helvellyn, but it is unmarked and over tough mountain terrain - so fell running and navigational skills are essential. No route description is issued; as competent navigators you won't need anything more than the grid references provided below!
