Good luck Ian and the rest of the gang.
Good luck to you all.
Good look to you all!
Think we'll miss you just, be coming up to windy gap by the time your heading off down off Green Gable :D

Watched the DP/Penistone train set off on time into breaking/rising cloud and much better conditions than we had through most of today - the Caldew should have gone back down an inch or two before they get there.
oops we'll be on our way up Green Gable 24 hours later so won't see you :oQuote:

Hope everyone's going okay and had a good night section - looking forward to news later - fingers crossed...

just got up after supporting the first leg and then driving back home
all the contenders looked in good shape after the food stop at threlkeld being around 15 mins up on schedule, despite skating most of the way down halls fell ridge due to low cloud making the rocks a bit greasy :eek::eek:
fingers and toes crossed that the rain i drove through on the way home doesnt make it that far north
As you can see I didn't make after repeated bouts of Sickness and stomach cramps, Not sure if it was the the food or coming down with a cold.
I'm really pi$$ed off after all that training. Will have a think and might have another go later in year
The weather that SS comments on did come our way with heavy rain thorough 2nd section but thanks to top naving the team were still up when they set off on the third.
Thanks to all the team who pushed me round and I hope the rest of the boys come home safely.
Saw Will Turner on first and second sections but we dropped him near clough head. Saw another support team waiting at DRaise (for Will?) reporting a leg injury to there party who would be pulling out.
Unlucky Ian,
At least the trainings in the bag now for later in the year.
Bad luck Ian,
best of luck to the rest of the team. Let us know how they get on.
By 6.40pm, at the Moot Hall last night, 3 members of DP had finished and were waiting for one more. It was fantastic; he arrived to great cheers as he touched the building with, apparently, no more than a few seconds to spare.
Congratulations to all who finished and well done to everyone involved.
anyone know how the penistone lads got on.
bad luck ian , good try mate
Bad luck Ian and well done to those that made it round this time.
ST

Congrats to all those that got round.
Congrats to you all, well done!
Well done to everyone, not the best of weather for a BGR.
We saw a lad coming off Pillar at about 17:00? he was looking strong, said they were only 30 mins down did he make it ok?
Bill
That will have been John Thompson from Skelmersdale - he finished in 23 hrs 26 mins - good effort considering the awful conditions during the night
Congratulations to Thomo, he must have eaten when told to!Quote:

Wish I'd been there.

Bad luck Ian, there's always next time (I'm sure you've heard that many time since the weekend!).
Great news and well done to you all. I like the idea of finishing a BG with only "seconds to spare". Tense stuff. Phew! :eek:
