Good Luck Bill, have every confidence in you getting round, have a great round mate :thumbup:
Were is your sense of humour guys this is ment to be a team effort. Seems to me that there is to many so called chiefs and not enough Indians so you might as well get on with it. Hope that you all have a nice day and enjoy yourselfs. Good luck Bill.

Good luck Bill - enjoy the 24 hrs & hope the weather Gods behave themselves.
Good luck also to Elise of Tod - starting at midnight - that will mean her support crew can celebrate in the Loft then ;)
The weather forecast is looking a toughy Bill; heavy rain, high buffetting winds and high potential for hill fog. Using a gps right from the off will probably be a good idea, especially in the dark
Aye Good Luck Elise and also Daz from Tod, setting off at different times. Be seeing Elise in Wasdale :thumbup:Quote:

It'll be cracking, really looking forward to it now. The weather will be what ever it'll be. I really appreciate everyone who's supporting me on this round and a bit of rain won't stop the fun ;-)
Thats the spirit Bill. Forecast looks similar for the Welsh 3000 tomorrow but it'll be fun whatever happensQuote:

Passed Clough head now.
Good job I am on last leg, otherwise there won't be any cake left ;-) I can only eat when I am not running though :o
Just come back from a leg1 reccie finished at 9
Quite cold and windy on tops. Barreled it down in the last half hour.
It will be tough into the wind, but looking at met office, the rain should ease back to occasional showers tomorrow.
It is going to be a long night for the contenders.
The rain after a dry spell has left halls fell very greasy.
Tried dark peaks line of clough head, but IMHO the sheepfold route is still a clear winner.
Sorry oldun. Saw the support teams in the cricket club car park would have said hello but had to get back.
They're looking good at the moment, still around schedule for a 2.40 drop into Dunmail. I'm looking forward to Simons next status report. The weather looks as though it has eased as far as the rain goes but it's all relative.
The GPS seems to drift off line every now and again, Ivery much doubt they would have missed the col between Fairfield and Seat Sandal.
I have got that rarest of things - an internet connection in Wasdale - any news?
Internet tracking puts Bill between Esk Pike and Great End Nigel
Just approaching Esk Hause according to tracker, Nigel. Stolly beat me too it:wink:Quote:
