    Same for the runner I was supporting who started at 7pm. I saw 2 groups on the road at the end not sure how they were doing time wise but they were still moving OK. The weather did improve later in the day I think the worst was just when people were at the highest point....

    Did you have Helen and IanF supporting you?

    The party they were supporting also called it at Wasdale.

    I don't know how he got on MT but he (well some one from Leeds) rang on thursday asking for some support but I was already committed elsewhere.

    Hope he made it.

    Hi

    I finished in 23:58 after starting at 18:38. I believe Dave Sykes from Tattenhall Runners finished in 21:50 - a great effort given the weather conditions. I was blown to a standstill on Lower man and had a few (well lots) of nav issues in the central fells due to snow, rain and high winds. I even did Allen Crags as a bonus peak ?!?

    I heard another team that started at midnight had got round but I don't know who they were.

    I was part of the other support team starting at midnight Friday

    Jon Mayne completed in 22hrs and 3 mins.

    As you say it was a 4 seasons in one day round. We had great fun and I personally enjoyed keeping Dave in my sights as I supported legs 3 and 4.
