I still have him at the base of Gable. He's either dropped it, turned it off?
let's hope so.
Chris K crew geting into Honister may have some news soon?
Up date from Hes and road crew, stolly and gavin are slightly ahead of schedule at Wasdale. Phew :thumbup:Quote:

Great stuff. Have to rely on old fashioned updates from now on, then, i guess. It would appear that the tracker of chris K has also stalled just before Honister
Stollys tracker has stalled at exactly the same spot as the one I was wearing last week on leg for Bill threw a wobbly and made it look as though I'd sprinted down to Black sail MR hut and back up again.
Bloody Marvellous, great news, keep going lads, it's not about the tracker :wink:Quote:

I don't know that I can bear to follow another one only to be left abandoned on some mountain pass.
Umm thats not so good that Stolly's tracker not playing ball. Before anyone throws stones, I think this is the first one that has played up like this. Will have a look and see if we can spark it in to life.
We have got Stolly's tracker working again - sent it a reset text. If in doubt switch it on and off - just nice to do it from the comfort of my home. We can see its uploading plenty of buffered data so not quite sure why it got in a tizz. Still it looks like he is coming up on to Bow Fell. Sorry for the blip in the service.
http://maps.opentracking.co.uk/bg2013.cfm?n=5 is this correct? If so Chris is still on the go after nearly 29 hours!
As far as I understand Chris pulled http://maps.opentracking.co.uk/bg2013.cfm would have switched his tracker off at Honister.
Good work, look to be going well, they had top nav on leg 2 from Ambrosia Kid and Moorlander will be doing the business on leg 3, willing you on Stolly and Gav.Quote:

Mark two reasons - the GPS updates every 90 seconds so if he could have made it to the top and back within that split it may not record it. But most likely reason is the tracker is on a pacer and they didn't go to the top.Quote:

Amazing stuff really.
Great, back to the tracker. My Saturday night viewing is restored!
Indeed, we just need to chain James to the 'reset' button on the Charlie Control desk for 23.30 hours whilst we sip fine wine in our armchairs.Quote:

Arguably could reduce it further for BG's where its rare its out of range for anything more than 45 mins (pending how long people spend at honister). Should save me being awake for 23.30 hrs did that last weekend and I'm still randomly nodding off. Anyway Stolly doing good.
Stolly appears to be approaching High Raise. I can't easily compute ACW schedules - he's about on time isn't he? Just occurred to me he'll be going down Steel Fell in the dark. That could be exciting on a mucky night!
Like you, Martin. I can't compute. I keep working out how long it takes sections I'm familiar with and then trying to work out how going the other way affects it. I think he's doing good.
Due at Calf Crag 22:37.
just got in internet range but been getting updates from a mate ,go on brian and gav keep going lads . is weather still pants over there ?
Looks pretty bang on Simon. Go Stolly!Quote:

I had not noticed that! The list of members viewing does not match the "count" of members watching.

Not sure what's going on there. Wierd place for a pit stop - too far over to be the cricket club car park.Quote:
