Folk ask on here so simply offer your services

Sorry if these sound like stupid questions.
It helps but isn't absolutely necessary - depends if you are being asked to navigate or not.

One way might be to offer to help but make it clear that you might not be fit enough. The later legs tend to be slower so can be better for first timers. The central leg can be supported in two halves: as far as Bowfell then the remainder so it's possible to do just a small bit of this.
