Its the yorkshire one with pen-y-gent and two others - cant remember the names now.
Anyway its a 39km walk which is around the length of a marathon so some distance and it is supposed to be completed in approximatly 12 hours.
Has anyone done anything similar as i am wondering what sort of level of fitness i should have or what sort of training i should do ?
If anyone has any tips or advice it would be really appreciated as i have never done anything even remotely similar.

For f*ck's sake, make sure you take some Savlon for chaffing.
Trust me - you'll be on here thanking me for it.

Make sure you wear a good pair of tight boxers with legs up to mid thigh..... otherwise your inner thighs are going to be rubbed sore..... trust me on this mate.
Not a nice feeling...![]()
and break in those boots... very important.
