    Everybody should go up there - once!
    After reccying the first two legs of the BG to Dunmail I elected to "jog back to Keswick" along that ridge. An absolute nightmare! Took me nigh on 5 hours to do ten miles!

    At such a young age as 20, it may still be possible to drink your age in pints. Move on to running when the numbers get too big!

    I probably could in a given time! lol
    Well i spent my 18th on the lash, my 19th on the lash so i rather do something abit different on my 20th.
    Besides can go on the lash after the challenge lol!
    24 cans in a crate, 24 hours in a day, sounds about right!

    (just a question, when people take on the 'n peaks at age n' do they tend to stick with the 0.25miles/250' re-ascent rule that applies to 24hr records? As the latter would rule out Lingmell in this case I think)
    I think Lingmell's fine - its 280' and 7/8mile from Scafell Pike. Nicky Spinks included it in her recent 24hr record, so must be OK.

    All the best for that. It looks like a good day out. When do you plan on giving it a go?
