    Urgent Appeal for BGR Support!

    I am attempting a clockwise round starting Midnight Friday 15th May, could do with some backup for legs 1 and/or 2!!! Will be a steady pace (aiming for 23 hours) and no navigation necessary. I am down to 4 support runners, one of my team injured hamstring on Wednesday so I am down to the bare bones!!! Will be driving up Friday evening from Derby so could possibly pick one or two up on the way if needed? Could be an opportunity for someone to get a night-time recce in!!

    I wishi could have helped - sometimes these last minute escapades turn out to be really memorable days in the fells.

    Unfortunately though i also have something big(ish) organised for Sat 16th - will possibly even 'run in' to you at some point.

    Best of luck.

    Eyup Daz, yes I was chatting to Carolyn on Sat - just getting some socks!! We bumped into a couple of guys on Sat 2nd May at High Raise whilst doing a recce of leg 3. They told us they were doing the Joss Naylor challenge this weekend, could be the same guys you're supporting?
