I`ve volunteered my running services for this race in June.has anyone out there done this one before?
although i`ve been on all three summits before i`m not too sure which routes you have to take.
From Ravenglass to Scafell pike,do you go via the A595 then along Wast water and up the main path from the car park at the end of the lake? and with Ben nevis,is it basically the race route?any advsie and tips would be greatly appreciated
cheers
Scafell you ride your bike along some winding cycle route then up and over to ennerdale YHA. From there its run through the forestry up over black sail pass and straight up scafell then reverse. Ben Nevis is from the docks along the seafront then head on the road and up the ben following the main path. You cannot however enter the red burn area and have to take the swinging path to the tarn then up. Snowdon is road from caenarfon up through waunfaur and straight to ranger path up, down the llanberis side and on road back, theres a little option to follow the track by the side of the lake outside llanberis which is advisable as you avoid a little rise and your legs are battered by this point anyhow......... Absolutely mint race, I was abit seasick at first but ginger beer and ginger cake (apparently a remedy) sorted me out.
Cheers Slovatt,
I know the Snowdon route vry well as i`m from the area ,it sound like the ben route is the same as the race ,barring the red burn section.it seems i`ll have to have a look at the map for the Scafell route,hows the nav on this leg?? and which leg are most likley to be done in the night? the boat i`m in will be up there with the leaders (no pressure then)
I thought they'd stopped using Ravenglass now, & switched to Whitehaven, hence the need for a bike as it's so much further from Scafell.

If I can get my fittness back this will be my 3rd PPPYR, this time with Marvin
Let me have your email address by PM and I'll send you some details. This will be my third year on the trot. Which Yacht are you on?
Saul don't know if they get hold of you but they were trying to contact you again, think Rocksteady has a run in that boat (the skippers missus just set my arm in plaster...)
Dylan have you got anyone else yet? I've emailed around my Thursday night list as well..
Yeah ginger is a good anti sickness, when working I use stugeron..
Hi, I have just been looking at this race and might be able to get some time off around this date, if anyone hears of a boat short of a runner please let me know.
Thanks, Rob.
Another broken arm Iain? you are getting careless.... Is it because the HPM is coming round again....
Speedy recovery mate
Only a scaphoid and a small crack, ran 25 miles in the last 2 days since it happened so no worries re the HPM..
