Bob Graham Route Choices

Could you please show us this route on
http://maps.live.com/?v=2&sp=Point.t...a___&encType=1

I would if I knew how. I can forward a OS map with a route marked on but I don't have a URL for it. Any clues?

I'll just have to work it bit harder at it. I think I was holding back a bit as I was unsure of the route choice as a whole. By the way what are your usual split times for leg 1.
.

About 80/45 - your 42 sounds fast to me! - but then I dont try to run the mushy bits of the trod to and below hare crag.

Ill have a go at your cairn traverse of halls fell - assuming you can settle on whether it is SSW or SSE!

Only saw one chap from Tatt and the kinder trog today, did not introduce myself he was at the top off some steps and I would not have got up there

See y'all soon

That was Richard - he'll be on leg 5, waaay after you've done on leg 2

listen to Little Binnion ... pick good pacers and trust them.
.

OK then mate, looks like we're going via the back of the tarn.

Looking forward to it and indebted to you both!

Our line up Red Pike left of the main track in fact gained 6 minutes on schedule.

and I showed you pacer the even quicker way following the stream on his round

Look on the scratch pad, you can draw a path on the map.
Its better than an os map as you can show exactly where to go

You beat me to it

iii) Yewbarrow - don't fancy the scramble down Stirrup Crag. I've read about the grassy rake off to the left. Is this after the main summit or do you have to double back to find it?

You don't go near Stirrup crag, the main way everyone goes is at the col between the north and south summit of Yewbarrow (coming from the main south summit) there is a cairn and a path leading off to the left (NNW) follow this it drops down then starts to traverse the slopes heading for Dore Head.

Here's a link for the way I like to go (the last person I paced made up about 8 mins on his schedule here)

Where to cross the wall?

Leg 4: very start.
Which route do other people take

Option (a) I am used to crossing over the wall in the corner now reinforced with wire mesh. And I know many others use this too.

Although there is now so much bracken you are forced to head rapidly for the stream bed, rather than a climbing traverse to it.

Option (b) 2/3 of the way across the field in the direction of the stream bed there is a fallen section of wall that is easy to cros..

Option (c) More or less in the line of the stream bed there is a style: but this option is certainly longer than (b) and a lot longer than (c)

What do others do?
