    He may be breaking trail.

    I think the hour difference in the splits just reflects Jim was at Middleton approx. 1 hour before Eoin i.e. he's had 1 hour more rest. Pavel only stopped for food n drink at Middleton, hence the apparent sudden catch-up....... he's surely going to need a much longer rest soon.

    Jim has had more rest and has a couple of times given Eoin the lead after a longer rest only to overtake again and stretch his lead. Think Jim is playing this brilliantly with regards to rest strategy. Only thing is can he continue and can Eoin keep going with less rest than Jim

    Just amazing to see how far ahead they are on some of the other competitors. Completly different level.

    Looks like Jim is contouring around Little Dun Fell..... hope he's not going to be penalised for that?

    Looks more like a nav wobble leaving Great Dunn Fell. It's cost him time as Eoin's caught up a bit.

    Quite easy to lose the path up there in the snow if there isn't already a trail broken. Only a mile between Jim and Eoin now!

    Trying to work out what game of poker Jim is playing, especially in the videos they're putting up. I was surprised to see him lose time up to Dun/Cross fells, but breaking trail/nav may account for some of that.

    He has more sleep in the bank than Eoin, but he's now into new territory for him in terms of time on feet (I think), whereas Eoin isn't.

    Hmm, from posting that to now Jim has dropped off quite a bit and is now on a road not the PW.
