She's off again: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/sowjune2021/
Might as well have a double BG while we're here: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/ebdbg21/ He's going well! Good conditions for it today.
It's bloody hot in N.Wales today, how is it in the Lakes ?
She's going impressively so far, hope she can hold the schedule.
Is the official Wainwright for 'Whinlatter' actually at the far end, at the 517m point ?
If so, I've only done 173 of them, not 174 !
Careful Now - Indeed the Wainwright is 'Brown How' at the western end of the ridge. And it's not the only top that could be debated :).
More than half way round, and a mere 14 hours ahead of schedule. Did someone say that it takes at least 6 days to do the Wainwrights?
After pulling out something like 13hrs on her schedule, it's slightly closing up again (7-8hrs)
That section she's about to do across to and over Hen Comb can be grim. Might be relatively ok due to the dry weather.
I think this is partly down to having a break in Borrowdale last night. On her target schedule she'd have passed straight through in the daytime, whereas last night she arrived at 10pm and took a couple of hours break, so 'lost' that time. I haven't done the maths, but I assume the target schedule is the record, so she's looking very strong for breaking it. Incredible stuff.
She's been consistently a few minutes up on splits across the Buttermere fells this morning. This is still the interesting point in the round though where it could start sliding.
There is a John Kelly round mooted over the summer as well.
