David/Sam,
Glad you had a good day, sorry I couldn't join you.
Do you know anyone who has the route on a gpx file please?
Please let me know if you're planning any other reccies.
Thanks
Richard
Hi
Two of us will be leaving Seathwaite on Thursday 20th (about 09.30)going to Angle Tarn, Rossett Gill, then rest of leg 3 and back via Styhead. Steady pace, should be round in 5.30 too 6 hours.
Also leaving Keswick on Sat 22nd, leg 1, then back via a few extra tops for good measure, slightly faster pace on Sat.
If anybody fancies joining us, let me know.
Steve
I am doing tour de hellvelyn then looking to start on the recces. Ideally like to organise a couple of weeks in advance so other half knows my plans.
