Definitely direct route. Where the track swings south (GR752842ish) take a line slightly north of a direct bearing to BM summit, that way you lose...

Hawley has a springer and a collie, so maybe there's a latent fell runner in him somewhere!

You've gone soft, living in Yorkshire all those years, DT.

Wow DT! Such people are like - surreal. When I used to listen to Paul Jones do his blues radio problem I would wonder if he remembered the advice...

Booked a b&b in Lorton... Close to the 5 'Lords Seat' Wainwrights that I've not done, so they'll have to be climbed at some point. Also right...

Freezing (not literally) in East Midlands yesterday

Good luck. I’m not on FB. The litter sweep sounds a noble enterprise

Eric Clapton was telling me recently (we often chat about rock music using social media) that he knew a very famous fell runner. Some tousle haired...

I heard he tells people he was at school with you!

I was at school with Richard!

What are people's route choices to blea Moor- do you take direct route or come down past path junction to whernside and cross the stream at the...

What dogs does he have? I’m guessing whippets and not just because of the flat cap Tyke stereotype

Yep agree, if its only used as a back-up when things go wrong then I'm OK with that.

I think there's actually been quite a balanced reasoned discussion on here with a few people advocating the use of GPS watches for navigation....

Love Richard Hawley! Good spot that man!

I'd disagree. You're forgetting that those at the front of the field will often have better hearing than some of those further back ;) Watch beeps...

The point made about EPO is pertinent. There are those who will always push at the boundaries of the rules (written or unwritten). In a way it's how...

May I suggest training starting by walking, on say leg 31 starting from Appletreewick on the 11 August?

Cheers. Think I misread that the first time around.

That is probably true, would not think many people on here know anybody called PCD.

there have been a range of views expressed on the thread and it is indeed a good thing that we can all accept that others are entitled to their views...

I think it's more likely that people who used GPS in the race in question just haven't seen the thread, or perhaps aren't even forum members. I count...

& there is the crux of the matter. The hubby and I are so pleased this is being debated in a calm and orderly manner. As yet, on this thread no...
