Hard luck Ian.

Conditions have been very greasy for the last month, hopefully we'll get some dry weather next year like this May and June (remember that )

Thanks Bill.

Have been thinking about and I believe I may have found the 56th for next year.

Unlucky Ian,

Good effort to there though mate, I really enjoyed the day out and definitely picked up loads of beta for my BG.

Cheers for a good day out.

Good luck Bill as well in two weeks time.

Was she wearing supports on her knees? I was coming off Bowfell as she and her supporters where going up, she seemed to be enjoying it



Was Nicky Spinks with him, if so seen them coming off Rosset, they weren't hanging about

Possibly on first count yes to the second, they passed each other somewhere in this area but they didn't see where. We saw all her support so kept chatting to them all the way round. Funnily enough whilst having a pint in the Screes (Nether Wasdale) to celebrate afterwards they all turned up, this is how we knew she had finished.
I did the first and last leg with Mark amongst others like Plumbum, Nicky did from Dunmail to the end top girl, On my BG in all that crap weather she did Dunmail to the finish 3 legs!!

Reached Threlkeld after 23 hours and 51 summits but utterly exhausted so retired. Conditions weren't easy and rocky summits, especially Great Gable, were very difficult. I think I need more daylight and less bracken so I have picked my 56th summit for next year.

I think I saw your Joss team just below Bowfell and they were looking good then.

Had luck Ian but don't be down hearted that is still truly a superb effort.

Well done.

Hard luck Ian. You'll just have to find another peak and do 56@56 next year. (Just seen you have already suggested that!)
At least you have a go - I'll be lucky to get round Langdale Half in under 2 hours - must remember not to wear studs!
