We had a BG contender out friday night through saturday evening.... here's a brief description from one of our reporters at the scene...
Despite horrendous conditions on the Helvellyn leg,with virtually zero vis in the dark the team kept Digby going to a 23.5 hour BG.
It all went nasty over Dodds ,Helvellyn, Fairfield but the club chairman,with help from Ross refused to panic or yield to the conditions & eventually brought him in to Dunmail with the loss of 90 minutes(a real baptism of fire for Janet & Sarah).
In daylight & improved weather Digby buckled down to recover the time with the able support of a huge band of helpers & despite more bad vis & wet rock over the high fells he`d pulled back almost an hour at Wasdale,all the deficit by Honister & despite tiring a bit at the end he finished smiling to a huge welcoming party.
A credit to him & club to succeed in these conditions,& well done to the chairman for sticking at it in "epic" conditions
Beats sitting on the M5 for 20 hours in these conditions!
