Help needed 13th May

Hi Stef. Nice to meet you and DT on Saturday - I really enjoyed a really great day out. I've checked and will be available if required to rope broad stand on 14/5 for you. Let me know once you've decided which route you're going with

Cheers Paul

Thanks Paul

It was good to meet you too. I'm still buzzing from the day; I haven't had many as good as that one.

Please pm me your email address and I'll send you my spreadsheet with the schedule, team, training etc.

Stef :)

Oops! I've been away. Will clear some space later.

Stef

A quick update.

After a week in the lakes I can now run on rough ground and descend on scree, and my training is complete. Phew and hurrah.

My parachute is primed and ready; thanks to Yiannis for helping me to test it :thumbup:

Broad Stand has been ruled out as a no go due to a small matter of the dodgy looking sloping shelves :eek: Foxes Tarn it is. (I know; you all told me so :rolleyes:)

My hill food is packed, just clothes, drinks and road supplies to sort now. So nearly there.

Please could everyone have a quiet word with the weather gods and ask for nice dry calm conditions?

Stef

Oh thank you :thumbup:

Just don't ask me to navigate or pace or something next week! I know my limitations!

I havent met you Stef - but I'm a real fan of ladies doing the bob graham - (I'm convinced women can cope better of over long distances than men!) so I've just joined up to twitter! and I'm one of your followers now! - i cant imagine you'll be able to tweet while you are running - you have to concentrate on 'keep moving dont stop' I'm keen to know how the incredible linda gets on too! Go GALS!

actually i realise cos i dont have an i phone I'd have to log into the computer to get the email twitter updates - and someone will have updated the forum with them same info wont they - so i could just look at the forum - well at least I've had a go of moving into twitterdom

Will be thinkiing of you and mrs stagger. Good luck to you both x

Thanks Daleside, I hope we don't let you down!

The twitter was set up mainly for work colleagues as I don't want to tell them about the forum. I've not used it before either so I've taken a leap into twitterdom too. I have a crew member who will be twittering whenever possible, he's not a forumite.
