Welcome to 2017 Silva Great Lakeland 3Day Race Director’s report. After a few days’ reflection, it is clear from feedback already received and the fantastic atmosphere at the event, that the 2017 event was a big success. Thank you for being part of it.

Day 3 - back to Coniston. The sun is shining down on the participants as they return to the event centre and are rewarded with a finisher's meal, cake and an optional something from Joey's Café and the Coniston Sports & Social Centre pop-up bar It's been another great day on the courses for participants, today on the Coniston fells - probably the driest GL3D ever - well done to all!

Day 2's courses saw all participants heading out of Great Langdale in various directions with the Wainwright and Expert courses heading over the Scafell massif and the Café course heading up to Angle Tarn. Harter Fell saw a conglomeration of all three courses before they dropped into the Duddon valley for overnight camp 2.

The vibe on the event field was unanimously positive yesterday as participants reported back enthusiastically about their day's journey. Tents were pitched, cake and beer was consumed, and the last participant arrived with just 4 minutes to spare before the 8pm course closing time , briefing, and SILVA raffle. Tomorrow, we head south into the Duddon valley for day 2's overnight camp.

We're delighted to share the 2017 SILVA Great Lakeland 3Day™ final information with you and look forward to seeing you next weekend. There's something for everyone in the new 3-course structure to the event this year and we can't wait to hear your feedback. Remember - you can switch courses whenever you like at this event!

This Ecological Briefing Note has been prepared for the 2017 SILVA GL3D event to identify key ecological interest features that contribute to the special character of the event area, with route selection comments to help minimise the risk of localised ecological disturbance.

We're enjoying putting the final touches to the 2017 SILVA Great Lakeland 3Day™ event, and would like to share a whole bunch of updates before we meet you at the end of April.

Participants at the 2017 event will be the first to test out the revamped Expert, Wainwright, and Café courses for 2017.
