Attempts Weekend 22-24 June

Just wanted to wish everyone having a go this weekend the very best of luck - I think I know of at least 5 attempts, well, 4 now that Lee has postponed. Imagine there must be a good few more:

Dave Barnes (Dallam) - originally going tonight, postponed until Saturday 6.00pm start
Tom Hollins (dunno) - 0300 start Saturday
Clewy (Pennine isn't it?) - 1900 start tonight
Mark Estienne (York Acorn Runners) - think it's a 7.00pm start on Saturday

Will be up in Keswick area tomorrow to give a bit of support to these brave souls.

Good luck to all of them. Isn't the Dark Peak machine rolling this weekend too? They're going to need all the help they can get this weekend! I think Lee's made a good decision: quite apart from the conditions on the round, his support was going to be tent-based, which wouldn't have been much fun in this weather. And it means I don't have to go up Great End in appalling weather yet again:)

I just heard that Dark Peak have pulled their collective attempt this weekend.

Clewy's canned his attempt tonight. Good call. It's chucking it down here and with wind forecast up to 80mph tonight it'd be hell out there. Forecast looks better for tomorrow, so reckon those guys will be in with a shout. Good luck!

Spoken to Clewy this morning and he is gutted about the weather but as made the right decision, can't say i was looking forward to navigating leg 2 for him in this weather.

DP have cancelled but two of the attemptees are getting support for a Sat PM start.

I've got twenty attempts listed for this weekend. I suspect many will be postponing if the weather stays like this. If any contenders are reading this - there's no need to re-register if you do reschedule your attempt.

I was due to support on legs 1 and 2 tonight but its off so I am going to have to console myself with a pint or 2 in the Hawkshead Brewery instead - Poor me!

After last weekend's experience (with the exception of Ash's epic success:w00t:) "discretion is the better part of valour". Good luck to the re-schedulers.

I hope this weather improves... it's all getting a bit silly!

Wish I'd gone in bloody March now! The day of the 4 Inns (31st) was a bit overcast but at least you could stand up and actually see something!

I also did the 4 Inns in March and said the same thing to my team mates. It'd been so dry up to that point the peat bogs over Black Hill and Bleaklow were like sprung mattresses to run on. Can't believe how rubbish it's been since the end of May. Doesn't look like it will end any time soon either ..
