Idler - Snap?!?!?
Latest update is that Nick left Dunmail at 11:50.
Confirmed via Wynn.Originally Posted by PauloTG
Waiting for further updates.
The only one who can tell you "You can't" is you. And you don't have to listen.
Still smiling..... in good spirits
When all else fails and your soul needs a lift - head to the hills
Lots of snow on Leg 1?
Occasional ramblings http://sometimesridesbikes.blogspot.com/
Go Nick. A solstice BGR would be epic!
Poacher turned game-keeper
To Press:-
Left Moot Hall at 02.05, Skiddaw 03.30, Gt Calva 04.35, Blencathra 06.35,Threkeld 07.03 - 07.28 with John Fleetwood & Huw Price (Kahtoolas on all 3 tops & down the "parachute descent")
Clough Head 08.22, ..... Helvellyn 09.00, .... Dunmail Raise 11.43 - 11.50
Still deciphering times for other Leg 2 tops - Nav ( Ian Barnes ) reported atrocious weather ( 50 mph winds ) and under foot conditions ( Kahtoolas over Helvellyn ) but confirmed that Nick had definitey visited all the summits. I.B. reckons that Nick is ascending v. well
Bill Williamson & Richard Davies had him up Steel Fell in double quick time, really surprised us all.

I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
Those were my thoughts. Maybe the snow has blown away from the ridges as his time for leg 2 didn't seem too bad. Pure speculation though.

Without me you'd be one place nearer the back
Basically had the wind on their backs for most of L2.
Currently at Wynn's re-stocking the truck and ditching some very wet cothing, then heading round to Wasdale for 4.30 ( ish )
