Does that mean the series is starting all over again? Was it not on BBC then went to BBC4

Only managed to catch 20 minutes of the penultimate one and all of the last one so would quite like to see it although to be honest last weeks episode has PUT ME RIGHT OFF doing Borrowdale

Being myself one of the BBC4-challenged, why was that?

Mind you reading the Time for change thread I would definatley be considered as one of the 'lightweights' so wonder wether I should bother

Ach, Emmilou, don't be daft;

i) Of course it's tough...that's what we all enjoy about fellrunning :-)
ii) The only way to get better at these type of runs is to do them
iii) The person who called us all "lightweights" is clearly a wind-up merchant and I think general opinion is pretty much against that point of view!

Did Langdale last year and had a mare. It was tough, I twisted my knee early on and the traverse path under Esk Pike was rocky, slippy and downright horrible.....but boy am I glad I did it! And I'll be back to give it a decent go this year!

Did anyone try going over Esk Pike in the end? It's worth thinking about if you hate the rough route.
