We had a BG contender out friday night through saturday evening.... here's a brief description from one of our reporters at the scene...
Beats sitting on the M5 for 20 hours in these conditions!Despite horrendous conditions on the Helvellyn leg,with virtually zero vis in the dark the team kept Digby going to a 23.5 hour BG.
It all went nasty over Dodds ,Helvellyn, Fairfield but the club chairman,with help from Ross refused to panic or yield to the conditions & eventually brought him in to Dunmail with the loss of 90 minutes(a real baptism of fire for Janet & Sarah).
In daylight & improved weather Digby buckled down to recover the time with the able support of a huge band of helpers & despite more bad vis & wet rock over the high fells he`d pulled back almost an hour at Wasdale,all the deficit by Honister & despite tiring a bit at the end he finished smiling to a huge welcoming party.
A credit to him & club to succeed in these conditions,& well done to the chairman for sticking at it in "epic" conditions
