Might as well have a double BG while we're here: https://live.opentracking.co.uk/ebdbg21/ He's going well! Good conditions for it today.

It's bloody hot in N.Wales today, how is it in the Lakes ?
She's going impressively so far, hope she can hold the schedule.
Is the official Wainwright for 'Whinlatter' actually at the far end, at the 517m point ?
If so, I've only done 173 of them, not 174 !
Careful Now - Indeed the Wainwright is 'Brown How' at the western end of the ridge. And it's not the only top that could be debated .
The land at the end of our toes goes on and on and on.
More than half way round, and a mere 14 hours ahead of schedule. Did someone say that it takes at least 6 days to do the Wainwrights?
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

After pulling out something like 13hrs on her schedule, it's slightly closing up again (7-8hrs)
That section she's about to do across to and over Hen Comb can be grim. Might be relatively ok due to the dry weather.
I think this is partly down to having a break in Borrowdale last night. On her target schedule she'd have passed straight through in the daytime, whereas last night she arrived at 10pm and took a couple of hours break, so 'lost' that time. I haven't done the maths, but I assume the target schedule is the record, so she's looking very strong for breaking it. Incredible stuff.

She's been consistently a few minutes up on splits across the Buttermere fells this morning. This is still the interesting point in the round though where it could start sliding.
There is a John Kelly round mooted over the summer as well.
