I find this forecast as reliable as any. The BBC one usually updates constantly to show what the weather is doing NOW and is not too good on predicting more than a few hours in advance.

See you all tomorrow.

Looks as though the clag is coing to be down around 1500-2000 feet which means a lot of the route will be in clag.

Unless someone in the group knows the way of scafell pike, I suggest you back track the broad crag col before coming down: it is a tad slower, but less danger of walking over a 1000 foot vertical drop - and from green gable keep the fence line to brandreth in sight - go just far enough left of it to find a good grassy running line - then straight N when you reach the col between the two tops of grey knotts, you will find a trod high up, and good running further down.

Wont be joining you. Back knackered from a BG rec on thurs.

The notes on the back of the Race Map (from Scoffer?) suggest going back to the Broad Crag col anyway.

Many thanks for the advice.

navigation is my middle name

Have fun you lot, I'm jealous at all ;)
