Its on the 25th of June at 6-30 clockwise. You want to do a leg? Just thought I might get Robson off Scafell a bit quicker than going down LN. Perhaps a parachute would be better? Yes you don't want to end up on dow crag like N&A they won't make that mistake again!
dawsy

I'll see you on Saturday but, aye, I'd be up for a leg. Later on if poss, otherwise I won't be able to keep up

Wouldn't it be funny if they DID make that mistake again!!!

Wouldn't be the Old County Tops if we didn't have some hail at some point!!! And since Coniston has been lovely weather the last couple of years, it's about it took its turn later on in the day!

Watch out for a mixed team wearing DP vests, that should be us although I hear there may now be another mixed team from DP

Have a good one IDP.

Now that the Ridgeways and Johnsons are out, there must be a good chance of sneaking a win.

Can you keep up with a Fellsman record holder?!

Shame Mrs BGSec and I aren't around to keep you honest.

Both on BG duty I'm afraid.

Enjoy, especially the weather!
