    14th May attempt - help needed

    Hi

    I'm having a go on Sat 14th May and after being let down by a couple of folk, was wondering whether anyone was available to help out on Legs 1 & 2?

    It's a 7pm start, clockwise round and I'm planning a 23.5hr schedule. (That puts the descent from Blencathra and all of Leg 2 in the dark.)

    I know the route well but as seems to be the done thing, am looking for someone to support and help a bit with the nav if needs be. (I also understand that it can't be ratified without a witness.)

    Would welcome any support and would obviously reciprocate support in the future - I've supported a couple of rounds so far, one winter, one summer.

    Please PM if you're interested.

    Cheers, James

    You have chosen a busy BGR weekend (see other posts) and may find it easier to get help on another day.

    Ah, yes. So I'm learning. However, with baby on the way I'm running out of options and I can't mess those about that have agreed to help. The search continues!

    I've offered help elsewhere on 14th but may be surplus to requirements. If so, I'll drop you a line.

    j o b - How've you got on getting a team together?

    I was surplus to requirements on that other round (Stef F's), however, as of last week I've been resting due to some shin splints. Still giving me jip at the moment so it really isn't feasible that I can help you out this weekend I'm afraid.

    Gutted I can't help you, but hopefully you've got everything you need. (If not, consider this a bump for others!)

    Hi SS

    It's all coming together at the last minute, almost like it was planned this way all along!

    To my relief I've now got at least 1 support on each leg with 2 on most now, which is great - it's going to cost me a bit in bacon butties and brews!

    So cheers to those offers of help. If anyone else wants to come along for the ride/recce, just get in touch.

    Hope you get your shins splints sorted soon.

    James
