In an effort to get a bit of an insight to Bob's 'Bob' schedule calculator I compared legs 4 and 5 taken together on a 23 hr clockwise round to them done as legs 1 and 2 anticlockwise. I guess there's a tad more climb going clockwise (Wasdale probably being a bit lower than Keswick) but, other than that, the Bob calculator allows 45 more minutes on the clockwise round, presumably mainly due to fatigue (8 hrs 9 vs 7 hrs 24). So saving some grunt for later should put the schedule calculator in your favour if nothing else.
Mind you its all a bit of an enigma, what ever number crunching goes into the schedule calculations, and my schedule was with a 10% rockness adjustment....... whatever the heck that does
Oh and good luck this weekend Andy
