After abandoning my last attempt on Scarfell Pike in the snow on June 5th, I'm looking for help to have another go on Saturday 25th July. Planning to leave Moot Hall at 2am for clockwise round and be back before dark. struggling to get team so anyone interested in helping please contact me.
Good luck to those setting out this weekend esp Pete James attempting husband and wife round. and Richard Gilbert.
Not had any responses to this, so my working plan is to solo legs 1 and 2.
Start time:
Saturday 25th at 6 or 7pm
or 2am Sunday. depending on weather.
Any supporters to assist with legs 1 or 2 welcome.
Hi
It may be the pace putting people off, I'd happily help on slower round but would struggle to b. I'm sure I could help you out but for the fact that I'd not keep up, especially on descents in dark. Don't rule me out though and post on here your plans as sure I could help for a bit even if I had to drop off somewhere along the way
Rod,
Let me check but I should be able to do Leg 1 for you I think. Will confirm by Monday. Could you send me your schedule please I've PM'd you my email address.
Karl
I may also be able to help out. Again send me your schedule and I will see what I can do.
Happy to help you on leg 2 Rod.Quote:

Hope it goes well! I'll be at Baggins' Paddy Buckley :D
Latest plan...
Start at 5am
Threkled at 8:30 (Blencathra about 8am)
Dunmail at 12:10 (currently solo on leg 3) Help on Broad stand would be useful.
Wasdale 17:10
Honister 22:00
If anyone else wants to join, be glad to have you along. See you there!!!
Rod
Good luck Rod see you at Threlkeld:)
Just to point out to would-be supporters that there are a few bits of Sec 3 you can sit out (High Raise, the odd Langdale, Great End etc). It's not as bad as it sounds :).Quote:

GOOD LUCK.
just bumping this up for Rod. Leg 3 anyone?
I would love to do leg 3, BUT i've got to take Mrs Bobert to a bloody craft fair:o But there will be cake:DQuote:

Hello Rod
How did your round go.
I set off at 9.00p.m on Friday and had an amazing day. We got mist on the first three tops and it was misty along the dodds but just as day was breaking all the clouds dissapeared and we had a perfect day finishing at 7.40p.m
Well done Alcumbria.
Perfect timing with the weather - lashing rain today.
Hi Al, Congratulations! Saw your lights bobbing down hall's fell and was going to come out and say hi but was trying to get a few hours shut eye in the car before Rods round.Quote:

Sunny at Peterborough :p but a bit flat, arguably.Quote:

Bad luck Rod.
Rod was going well over leg 2, and looked strong as he left Dumail, big shame that the wheels fell of at Scafell. Well run Rod, as Anthony said happy to help with 43;)
Hi
Thanks for the update.
Sorry it didn't work out Rod. I texted you (although knowing you would be running so didn't expect a reply) as was struggling to get over to Honistor. Hopefully you'll give it another go sometime!

Hope they bring back some good memories;)
Just to say thanks to all who volunteered. We had a great day - I certainly can't blame the weather this time. I did fall apart quite amazingly and suddenly on Scafell. Not even the emergency honey sachet could fix it. I need a few more mountain miles to prepare for this. I'll be back.....Rod
