'Enjoying' the Deepdale Saunders
Lakeland Mountain Marathon

I've been an outdoor enthusiast for many years, spending as much time as possible walking or hiking out on the hills. I've completed over 20 navigational 2-day mountain marathons (Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathons (SLMM), Karrimor International Mountain Marathons (KIMM), Original Mountain Marathons (OMM) and Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathons (LAMM))... but I have always been one for enjoying the event, the company (the beers) and scenery rather than threatening any leader boards!

I've written many walks and walking/outdoor articles that have been published in walking books, magazines, newspapers and on various websites with the aim to motivate and inspire people to get outside, walk and just enjoy the great outdoors.

As part of the training for the mountain marathons, I often used the Yorkshire Three Peaks as a training day about three weeks before them, to get some miles and climbing into my legs.
