Bait Stops

Bait Stops

Welcome to Bait Stops of the Lakes — a personal journal of walking and running adventures across the north of England.

‘Bait’ was the word north east miners used for their packed lunch — and it’s that same spirit of hard graft, fresh air and a well-earned rest that drives every adventure here.

What started as a quest to climb all 71 of the highest fells in the English Lake District has grown into something bigger — marathon training, new trails and fresh challenges across the north.
