The SILVA Lakes Traverse™ is a 100km ultra following Wainwright’s coast to coast route through the Lake District fells. The event has an  adventurous ethos and culture of self-sufficient. This ultra crosses the entire width of the Lake District National Park and starts alongside the SILVA Northern Traverse™ in St. Bees on the west coast. The route traverses Ennerdale, Borrowdale, over Grasmere Common, past Grisedale Tarn, through Patterdale, over Kidsty Pike and along Haweswater to finish at Shap. This is a challenging yet beautiful ultra, and a great stepping stone for those aspiring to enter the SILVA Northern Traverse™. We want to make this the best ultra you have ever done! We can’t take credit for the route, this is down to Alfred Wainwright – but he got it right, which is why the coast to coast route is Britain’s most popular long distance path.
