    The Lug Walk 2015 will take place on Saturday 20th June. It's 52k with 2307m total ascent and will be organised by the Irish Ramblers Club. Further details will be available in due course. Here's a video of the route from last year. It will not change for 2015.

    Here's a slideshow of the Jubilee Lug Walk which passes through the entire route from beginning to end.

    It is tough going but it really is an epic challenge. An amazing feeling when you complete events like this.

    I'm signed up but am having knee trouble at the moment. I may decide to give it a miss if things haven't improved. No point in making things worse. I've done the walk eighty-one times so far.
