NUMEROUS people take part in epic challenges every year in Cumbria, but there can be few - if any - tougher than the gruelling continuous round of Alfred Wainwright’s beloved 214 summits. The most recent attempt at running all of the peaks non-stop was by 40-year-old Ambleside vet Sabrina Verjee at the beginning of this month. She was on course to break Paul Tierney’s record time of six days and six hours until the weather and her asthma forced her to pull out of the attempt. However, after the run, she vowed ‘the story isn’t over’ and said: “I love running and I love exploring the Wainwrights. We have unfinished business.”
