BG attempt (7th July)

[Riccardo]

My mate Phil and I are attempting the Bob Graham on Saturday 7th July (1am start) and are looking for some more support runners. If any of you are free and willing to assist, that would be great. I can promise interesting if surreal conversation and a warm pint or two. We're not going to break any records (24 hours minus 1 minute would be the high point in my life). Having repeatedly run the various sections over the years I'm confident about navigating. And we'd be more than happy to support others in their attempts, please feel free to ask.

I should own up to being the one who commissioned the fell running piece of music for the BBC Philharmonic that was premiered in January in Kendal (and was the basis for the Radio 4 programme mentioned in an earlier thread with er... mixed response).

Good luck

Hi Richard, sorry for slow reply (too much on at work); are you still up for a leg on Saturday? We've changed to start from Moot Hall at 7pm on Friday 6th and OK for first 3 legs. Might leg 4 be possible?

Richard

[Riccardo]

THanks Stef, as they say in my business I've got the pearlies (ie butterflies) but really looking forward to it. Now if I can just make the weather work for me.....

Best to Andrew
Richard

I'm still up for this wekend, even if the weather isn't. I've done leg 4 before but wouldn't like to take responsibility for navigating. Have you got a base where we could meet up before the start or will you send me your schedule etc for sorting out logistics. I've never done the third leg so I might join you for that as well if you don't mind. Anyway get back to me with your thoughts.
Cheers Richard

[Riccardo]

Thanks Richard, no probs with navigation. I'll call you later (just waiting for news on an ill support runner for legs 1&2). If he drops out could you manage leg 2 (Threlkeld at 11pm ish on Friday
)? We're being mobile so no base as such but the team would get you back to your starting point. Weathers worrying though....
