Throw another date out there: 14/15th?? tuesday/ wednesday???? Got man flu at the mo but sure i'll be alive n kickin by then.
i have been made redundant and finish at the end of december so will have time to do some recces starting in Jan. i want to have a go in July 2016 on my 60th birthday
Do people recce the BG over the winter months?
Yup :)
Thanks Mike. Have not managed to recce a single leg yet and already starting to worry shout it HA. Was meant to be going up this weekend but unfortunately the dog has been to the vets so money gone.
i would definitely like some company for winter recces.
Hi. Just joined FRA. Am hoping to do BG next year.
Happy to join any recces if I can make it. Richard.
I'm hoping to recee a leg next week either Tuesday, we or Thurs. Must be some other teachers out there on half term!
Had leg one or part of 3 from langdale to scafell, descending to wasdale then back via esk hause in mind but open to other suggestions. Was hoping to let weather inform days and route.
Let me know if you are interested.
David. I could do Tuesday. I live in south Manchester, mobile is 07767 641137.
Hi there David, Richard

David/Sam,
Glad you had a good day, sorry I couldn't join you.
Do you know anyone who has the route on a gpx file please?
Please let me know if you're planning any other reccies.

I'll be arriving in Lakes on Weds lunchtime and am stopping over (location as yet unknown but 99% most likely Keswick YHA/Honister YHA or similar) Weds night, avail for long day on Thurs therefore. not really decided yet which leg or legs to do - blank canvass sort of thing.
anyway....if anyone is up for anything drop a reply....It'll be a sedate affair (I'm attempting BGR in June on 23hr sched). I did Lakes Mountain 42 event on Saturday so suspect spring in my step come tomorrow won't be at it's best.
Mark...
Oh well.....best laid plans n`allQuote:
