Cheers Huwski! It would be good to see you all, but don't hang around for too long, anything could happen between Keswick & there.

Hope you're fit enough for it, anyway.

( in conclusion dont! whilst I am not sure there is much in it on time, it is really rough and unpleasant - at least with the scree descent you get it over very quickly, and if you fall, even quicker still.....)

Is that stick to the race route, or to follow the tourist route

Stick to the race route, or back track to the coll below broad crag:
lingmell was interesting, but not a recommendation!

I really wanted to do this, but I just don't think I've got the mileage in my legs at the moment.

Dom - you'll be fine! It'll be slow and I'm gonna need someone to keep me company at the back :o

So it'd be more like a long walk ;)
