    You'll probably loose it in the valleys but the tops should be okay

    Woohoo! tracker now in glen nevis!
    Have to say, I would not like to try to make pace down the carn mor dearg arete in pitch black. Didnt like it much when wet/slippy in daylight: let alone at night!
    One brave and focussed lady! Go nicky.

    Some details of the route look interesting to me - take the line shown up binean mor on the inside of the NE spur rather than a Raking traverse up NW spur which seemed to be the natural line, for which there was a trod, although granted NE looks shorter but steeper...tho it is over ten years since I did a few trips there. Interested to see it on a tracker!


    I've done both lines in supporting, the line up the NW spur follows boggy ground then leads away from the summit before gaining the NW spur, the line up the NE spur is fairly direct and a bit like the upper part of Halls Fell. I've no real idea which is faster, best person to ask on here would be Bill W

    I'm assuming it was a 2am start? She's at the railway track now so 10hr30 if that's the case.

    According to Racing Snakes on FB it was a 2am start. What's the record?

    I saw her set off on the tracker at 2. Adrian beltons record must be out of reach? 18 something, the ladies is 20 something, presumably her target?

    Just checked. 18.23 Adrian and 20.24 Helene.

    Tracker stopped at end log treig , now reappeared sgurr elide mor, but lost all detail between. Was it reset?

    I am guessing 8.5-9 hours left? So just under 21.5/22?
