I'm feeling fit, the forecast is fair and there will be a full moon. My attempt will start at the Moot Hall at midnight.
Outline planned schedule:
00:00 Keswick
04:00 Threlkeld
08:00 Dunmail Raise
14:30 Wasdale
19:30 Honister
22:30 Keswick
I'm light on support, so if anyone would like to help, they'd be very welcome.
Thanks,
Andrew
Afraid I can't help next weekend, but Andrew, I wish you well. I hope you get some offers of support, though I'd love to be there myself....let us know how you get on.

Good luck Andrew, I too will be there this weekend trying to complete the round but starting at midnight on the 25th, like you i'm hoping for good weather. My schedule is for 23.30 back at Moot Hall.

All the best Andrew, lets hope its a decent forecast - if its a midnight Saturday start for you then the deshevelled gang loitering at Moot Hall will be Wingmans crew looking to see him bring home the bacon ...
Yes, that's right - starting Sat night / Sun morning - hoping to finish before last orders on Sunday evening!Quote:

Good luck Andrew, may see you at Moot Hall as i'm nav.ing Wingman on 4&5 (oh,and1) and if the gods are with us we should just be in before you kick off. Nerve wracking or what ....
To follow my progress on Sunday, logon to http://maps.opentracking.co.uk/bg2013.cfm?n=1
looking forward to this Andrew, hope its less windy over the lakes than it is here right now! :thunbdown: gonna have a trot round the local field to to break my new walsh in :-)
Good on you Andrew. Keep plugging away.
Ray.
Good luck, Andrew. Loving this tracker thing!
Aye, I'm on this one too, best of luck Andrew.
Good luck :thumbup:
I was with Andrew over leg1 along with Moorlander, leg passed without incident and Andrew still going strong. had news from dunmail he is through there fine and has good support on leg3 so, great. :-)
Forget the Test Match, Monaco Grand Prix and Golf as the BG tracker is the only show in town. Off the back of my 25.5 hour round last weekend I am really willing Andrew on. Looks like he is making good progress towards getting back to Keswick under the 24 hour mark. However, unless the tracker is playing games with us that looks like a bit of an "interesting" detour he took between Steeple and Pillar. Whatever, he is back on track and hopefully is feeling strong for the big pulls up Kirkfell and Gable. Also trust the weather is being kind and there will be success to report. Keep it going !!!
I'm assuming the tracker isn't 100% as it also went in straight lines past some peaks on leg 3. Presumably when it picks up a signal it just draws a line to the last one. Still great watching though.
Go on Andrew its almost done. 4hr from the Gable Mrs Stagger says.
Other than Dave and Andrew does anyone know how any of the other contenders from this weekend are getting on? Twelve in total with five going anti-clockwise. If it's anything like here in Yorkshire it's been a cracking weekend weather-wise.
bob you will have to tally up after the weekend ( no it was,nt me ) 19 was down at wasdale 8 anticlockwise going strong leaving wasdale solo very strong leaving dunmail
3 hr from dalehead this is great this is good going keep it up andrew
It's looking good!
Omg!! I sitting on the sofa waiting to shake my pompoms and pop the party poppers. Knackered though after all this running lark!! Go on lad :thumbup:
Would someone confirm he has done it? I'm holding my breath and turning blue :-O
Looks like he has by the tracker, awaiting confirmation, I need to pee!Quote:

Well done Andrew. I spent most of yesterday following you and willing you on.Sorry we didn't meet at your start but things didn't quite work out for me, so I'm about to rest and recover and evaluate the situation has to what's next.
Whats next eh ..... I thought there was no next ;-)
Hope she said yes :)Quote:
