Leg 2 In The Dark - 18th Nov

[DazTheSlug]

I'm thinking of having the day off work on Thursday, going up to the Lakes in the afternoon, and setting out on Leg 2 as it goes dark about 5pm

anybody fancy joining me?

not sure I can swing the safety aspect of this past Lady Slugge without company...

[Zmehican]

I can't do 5pm but if you are stuck and happy to go off a bit later 6.30 perhaps then you can count me in!

[DazTheSlug]

Thanks for the offer Zmehican

I'd really like to get started early though, as I have to drive back to Manchester straight afterwards, and go to work on the Friday!

I was also thinking of pottering up Blencathra first while it's light, and recce'ing the parachute descent just before it goes dark

I can give a lift up/back to anybody not too far off the motorway route up from South Manchester, although the logistics get more tricky with only one car...

[Baggins]

Why?

Do you know the leg well and just want to check your navigation

I'll be over at Penrith for a meeting around lunch time so could join you later on.

I'd rather not have too late of a night though as I've to be at Wasdale for 9:00am on Friday

[Zmehican]

I'll see if I can get there any earlier and drop you a message through if I can.

I've recce'd most of Leg 2 once before on my own (out and back, so could count as twice!) - I didn't actually go up/down Fairfield or drop down to Dunmail off Seat Sandal though
it's the leg I'll be doing in the dark on my schedule, so I'd like to get a feel for it
would be great if you could make it Bill - and I promise not to wimp out because of the weather :wink:

oh, and another thing
if I do end up leaving a car at the end on the leg
does anybody know if it's safe to leave a car at Dunmail after dark?
or would it be better at Wythburn? or Town Head? or Grasmere?

[daz h]

Marvin and myself left our bikes at dun mail. I've left my van near the aa box loads of times.
Also slept in it there loads as well.

You've got a PM

[DazTheSlug]

Thanks Bill

this is a goer now

if anybody else fancies coming along, drop me a PM...

Hi Daz

I'm very tempted to come along and have a trot round if that's ok, I'll PM you for more details.

Cheers
Andy.
