NAV4 LiAD Recce - Helvellyn to Ambleside

The NAV4 LiAD Recce from Helvellyn to Ambleside is a guided recce event held in the Lake District, covering approximately 11 miles with around 6,000 feet of ascent. Participants explore the challenging middle section of the Lakes in a Day (LiAD) route, including Helvellyn, Fairfield, and the descent to Ambleside. The course starts at Legburthwaite, Thirlmere, accessing Sticks Pass via the 'Stanah Stairlift,' and emphasizes efficient navigation and pacing rather than speed.

Led by experienced NAV4 tutors, the event offers valuable advice on navigation, gear, nutrition, and strategy, providing a supportive atmosphere for LiAD participants preparing for the main event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
