Very well done especially since the weather was not too good on Sunday!
Bill
Yeah, ditto.
We saw another attempt set off at 9:00 am Sunday morning as we had a cup of coffee outside "LUNCH" in Keswick. Does anyone know how they did?
Wylie
Well done.
It's strange where & when you meet people isn't it? I was recceing leg 1 on Friday night / Saturday morning. Running off Skiddaw towards Hare Crag at 1.20am, I saw a torch light ahead. Turned out to be Ali tucked up in his sleeping bag showing the way onto the trod! He told me there was a small cairn marking the fork in the trod a bit further down. Bugger! I still missed it & ended going to the left of Hare Crag! Soon spotted my mistake & only wasted a couple of minutes I suppose. Can you come and hold my hand in June, please, Ali?
Geoff, count me in to be your 'Hare Crag Siren' on 23rd June :) . Cheers, AliQuote:

Thanks for all the congratulations - it was the weather and the army of support that made it -bringing it back a day meant we were on dry rock all day -apart from the clag on Legs 2 and some of Leg 3 conditions were perfect.The idea of having a light on the Hare Crag trod was because last year we had gone wrong off Skiddaw and ended up south of Hare Crag in knee deep heather -I never really recovered from that and gave up at Honister way over schedule.
I'm not a number I'm a free man
well done on a great effort. After our Dragons Back, I have more insight into what it takes to do these 'big' challenges. Respect to all.
