If anyone is interested also planning a recce on the 1st May, not decided where yet but I could do with looking at Leg 4 Wasdale-Honister or Leg 5 Honister-Keswick. But open to suggestions.:)

hmmm... this is a possible date for me...
I've done the first half of Leg 4 before (up to Black Sail Pass), so would be interested in doing the latter half (Kirk Fell - Honister) plus Leg5 down to the Newlands Valley...
that's prior to the first May Bank Holiday weekend though, so will depend if any family-related shenanigans rear their head...
watch this space... :D
Looks a possibility for me too....
I have yet to eyeball Legs 3 & 4 so I'm keen to get my feet on the ground.
Daz, if it comes off, I could give you a lift, so long as there is another car going to meet up at the other end.
In the IoM for MMM... wish me luck.... I'll probably never want to see a pair of fell shoes ever again after tomorrow.
Keep in touch.
Donkarlo, I've pm'd you.
Still up for this Carl? 'Tis on Friday...
I am now looking more at 15th May, although I suppose I could do this Friday as well! :D
I can play out friday.
I unfortunately cannot make it anymore due to work commitments but maybe you guys could still tie up. Apologies :o

getting a bit late to organise anything now, plus the forecast for Friday is wet/windy, so I'm giving this one a miss
I'll definitely be doing something on 15th May - although I'm thinking more along the lines of doing some of the Kinder Killer route than BGR...

As Daz says, I am told that the weather forecast is pants for Friday, so it'd be a recce in the clag.
However, Mrs. Crumbly was going to perhaps have a look at the start of Leg 3 and part of the Old Counties Tops route, so may have a go at something if there is a gap in the weather.
If anything looks feasible, I'll post on here as early as poss.
15th should be good for me, might have slightly jaded legs from the Fellsman but would suit me grand. Simon I'll email you tommorow. Emma could maybe lift share if you fancy this ?
Speak to you soon:D
15th - yup I should be free.Quote:

Cool, Gutted to be missing a Friday training on the route, been really good recently. Have a good day;)
Shall have to check out the home / work commitments, but 15th May could be a good day... I'll see if there are any others too and we may be able to get a posse together.
I'll be in touch.
Friday was great. No rain at all until watson dodd and the gales off great dodd were certainly worth wearing ankle weights for!! Good steady pace round leg 4 or 2 which ever way you look at it with a good half hour 2 spare including faff stops? Keep me up 2 date re 15th but can be there regardless just need to know if i need sitters post schools out. Cheers.
Well Done emmi on not wimping out - sounds like it was pretty useful :cool:Quote:

my next BG recce date will be Fri. 19th June...
Think tis looking like the 15th could be a goer, I may be out on the 14th as well not sure of route yet but likely to be one/two of the later legs on a c/w round. K:)
15th looking good for me. Work and home arrangements look favourable.
Are you looking for an early start? And where are we going to cover? Leg 3 / 4?
Carl, if you want to e-mail me your phone no. before long and we'll settle some plans.
Anyone for a carshare? My old Honda is no looker but there'll be some spare seats going. Doing my bit for the climate:D
Is anyone still up for a recce this Friday? I know some are supporting Flatlander, which is fantastic, & others recovering from Fellsman, so not sure of the take up now. I'm keen to get out & recce a leg so if anyone else is interested let me know & see what we can arrange.
Hi Duncs,
Think I'm gonna get some night time practice in and help flatlander with Lantern Rouge just need to sort arrangements. What are you up to over coming weeks. I'll email you.
K
No worries Karl, I've always thought you were nocturnal! Best of luck. Will drop you a note. Living on glucosamine right now to loosen knees as I'm stepping up..
