Interesting descent route by Mr Goodison - never seen that one before.
As I said on the other thread of his, a couple of slow ladies on our relay went that way over knowe crags and made standard time, despite being 15-20% over standard on all other splits. So despite looking a mile out of the way it is clearly surprisingly fast.
Good ain't it!!? However its turned midnight and I defo need my beauty sleep!! Pity I'm not at work! :)Quote:

interesting to see Chris took the White Pike option up Clough Head - all the best people do that :wink:
trying to draw bgr map by tracker going up to calf crag see it is all in the head

the tracker on chris knight seems to have stuck on the summit of great end? anyone else got anything different?
Just get it done Stolly you've prepared better this time so the games on.

Interesting the check points have not been changed to suit his direction of round.
He's going the wrong way :pQuote:

I reckon stoly has stopped off for a pint in the swinside. Dont blame him! Either that or the tracker cannot get a network,
We saw Stolly and his pal off at 9 a.m. in pouring rain. Not a great day here in Keswick
Andrew, we thinking of coming over after work.....is it that bad?? Sun's shining in Sunny Sunderland!!Quote:

It will be a good photo-opportunity when Stolly meets Chris K coming the other way on Pillar any time soon. One of those "Dr Livingstone I presume" type of moments.
Conditions improving in Keswick. We've been out for a couple of hours run with club-mates and it's neither hellish windy, nor too wet :thumbup:
I am glad Stolly has not charged off at the start, :wink:Quote:

I reckon he could be getting dizzy by now if he's running in circles. Been stuck for a few hours.
Beck Head, between Gable and Kirk Fell, he's got one minute to get to Wasdale. These trackers are ok when they work:closed:
Hope they're ok, Rice Pudding Boy is with em too.
:-/ hope he's alright. Moorlander waiting for wasdale leg
