Black Mountains Traverse Challenge
38 km / 24 miles
The Blacks Traverse Challenge is an established, very demanding Anytime Challenge with an undulating route across the Black Mountain ridge taking in the highest peaks and lowest valley points in a continuous 24 mile walk with nearly 7000 feet of ascent on a self-devised route, much off-track. It can be attempted in either direction or both ways.
