Anyone want to join me over the coming months - hoping to make an attempt next July!!
Hi I'm looking to do a few recces next month. Want to do legs 3 and 4. I haven't any dates planned yet but keep intouch. Cheers Phil
I'm keen to get out on some Recces and help support a round or few over the next 12 months or so prior to making my own attempt early in the summer of 2016!
David
Hi, am potentially looking at that myself for next year, let me know weekends and where you're travelling from. Unfortunately I am based in Bedfordshire so a) not very hilly and b) a long way to travel! Will make as many trips as it takes to prepare.
Hi, my mate and I are heading up from the Midlands on Sept 20th to recce sections 1&2. We're looking to park at Dunmail and catch the bus up to Keswick and then run back to the car. We're aiming to follow the 23hr schedule and do it in around 8.5hrs.If anyone fancies joining us you'd be more than welcome.
Andy
What time are you thinking of starting? I might be able to make it if you start early enough. I could pick you up at Dunmail too which will save the bus fair :)Quote:

Me too. I need to be getting more detailed knowledge of the route.
Please let me know of any recces taking place. I live an hour away so can make it most times.
Thanks
I'm interested in doing some recces as well. I have been having the same ideas about doing 1&2 and using the bus to get to the keswick. Unfortunately can't do the 20th, but will keep an eye on this thread for anything in the future.
cheers, MM
We could be at Dunmail for 8.30am ish. How does that fit in with your plans? Also, are you going to run with us, or do your own thing. More than welcome to join us if you like.Quote:

Best, Phil
Hi Andy, are you still on for 1 & 2 on the 20th Sept ?
Best, Phil
I recced 1&2 with some club mates yesterday. We left the car and got the bus to Keswick. Works really well, the owners at raise house bunk house don't mind if BGers use the facilities, so you can pop in and make a cup of tea afterwards too..
It's a shame reccing the rest is not as logistically easy.

We're aiming to be at Dunmail Raise for around 8.30am ish, and head up to Keswick from there. It looks like there is a bus at 9am, so if we can't hitch a lift before that time then we'll jump on the bus to Keswick. Planning on sections 1 & 2, but we will see how it goes depending on weather/fitness etc. Welcome to join us if you like,
Julian
Cheers Julian. My mobile is 07740444580 if that helps with comms.

Later in the spring I will try to do the whole lot over two days. I will start at Dunmail and do legs 3 and 4 then stay at Honister YHA. The following morning I will do leg 5 into Keswick where I can buy some provisions then continue on with legs 1 and 2.
Sounds like a plan, I'll keep tabs on the thread!!Quote:
