I'm over from the US to have a (second!) try at the BG on July 9. I've got some support assembled but still need more...
I'm going clockwise, starting 3:30 a.m., and on a 22:30 schedule. Coming from the US, my pacing within each leg is a bit different than usual--we don't ever do steep grass, so I'm quite slow compared to UK runners on the descents and I have to make up the difference by getting up the hills reasonably quickly.
Legs 2, 4, and 5 are taken care of (though I think Janson, who's supporting leg 4, would appreciate a bit of help with bag carrying), and I may have got one person for nav on leg 3, but I still need leg 1 and ideally more people on leg 3. Leg 1 I know the route pretty well so don't need someone to be able to do the nav.
I've been in the Lakes training the past two weeks so hopefully should be fit and ready by the 9th.

also helping a friend that day/night so may see you and your support. Good luck.
Hope the rest of your run went well. Maybe see you on the 9th then! I think I'm now okay for legs 2-5 but could use another for leg 1, which sadly is the one at the most antisocial time. And yeah, I can get you a lift to/from the ends of the legs--there's at least 3 road crew.
