In today's video, Tony Cope aka Top Cat and Lee Baxter help me take on the Nearly Impossible Route in the Lake District - just 28km & 1250m of elevation - but nearly all of it steep... proper steep across 6 iconic climbs: Blea Tarn - Wrynose - Hardknott - Hardknott - Wrynose and Blea ...

I'd planned on having a max effort on this before my accident in May '22, but today my ambition was simply to make it up the climbs without stopping, and earn back my Lake District Climbing legs ! SIMPLES .....

Top Cat provides panache and fireworks, and Lee B provides a masterclass in calm sporting excellence .... I am away with the fairies !
