    Hi Dave, It's short notice, but my son is having a go starting 1.30 am Saturday, clockwise, 22.5 hr schedule. He'd appreciate a bit more company on leg 3 or 4. Dunmail about 10 am. Sent PM with mobile number.

    A low key DP attempt went off over the W/E.
    we had to drop out and 2 others were going strong the last I heard, this was last night. No update at the moment.

    i was part of the team supporting neil ridsdale who set off friday night at 11pm, he was still going strong at Dunmail when I finished after running legs 1 and 2, ive since heard Neil finished in 21.5 hours or roundabout, hats off to you Neil, therye was never any doubt you were going to cruise round.... perfect conditions over friday night made for an excellent evening/mornings running.....I dont think Neil comes on here but im sure he wont mind me saying that he'd never actually ran in the lakes before, making his acheivement all the more remarkable

    Hi Reverand. Yes, Neil was going really well wasn't he. And what a glorious night for running we had! They were stunning views from leg 2.

    Mike got to Threlkeld 10mins down on his 22.5hr schedule but, suffering from a cold, decided it was best to jack it in and save himself for an attempt when feeling better.
