    Was that you setting off when we were all milling around after Linda and Andy's completions on Sat evening?

    Yes that was James at 1900. He had some pretty miserable conditions on 3 and 4 I think. Made the bumslide off Robinson fun.

    Brilliant news, very well done. I woke at 5am on Sunday morning and was thinking about you. I kept thinking 'I'm glad that's not me up there'!

    You must be feeling very proud - see you at the dinner!

    Re: 14th May attempt - help ne

    Wow! Thanks everyone.

    Yes, I'm pleased/proud to say that I got round in 23.25 in some quite trying conditions. We had a great run over Leg 1 and were brought down the parachute route by Yiannis who was waiting for us at the top of Blencathra. Conditions over Leg 2 were fine with only a little clag and cloud cover. Conditions deteriorated after this which made progress over 3, 4 & 5 a little trickier but I was fortunate to have some fantastic support who managed to bring me down to the crossings pretty much on time.

    So I'd just like to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who supported me in my attempt. I know how much pressure there sometimes is on the support crew to ensure that things go well and given the conditions we experienced on Sunday, I think everyone did an amazing job. I felt very lucky to have such a great team out with me and hope I am able to reciprocate for you soon!

    Well done to other finishers from the weekend.

    James
