    Winter BG 18 Dec, help needed

    Hello all

    As some of you know, I'm all set up and ready to go for a midwinter BGR next weekend. Two of my pacers have pulled out suddenly and as luck would have it they are both leg 3 pacers.

    I could move people off other legs, but i wondered if anyone out there would be willing to act as a pacer/packhorse next weekend?

    I'll be leaving Dunmail at 0430 on saturday 19th and getting to wasdale at @1100. I'll ensure you're dropped off/picked up etc as well as fed, watered and generally looked after.

    PM me if you are willing to help - i;d really appreciate it

    Regards

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    I may be able to help you with this. I will PM you when I know how I can help.
    I will try and get some others to help too. The nav in the dark is probably beyond me though, Bowfell onwards I should be o.k. No chance of Moonlight I see!

    Cheers
    Alan.

    Hi Alan

    I just need one more now - but the more the merrier. I won't be relying on anyone for nav, i know the route very well and am going to take a GPS as back up.

    Thanks very much, would be good to meet you!

    Mark

    That's great - and such a quick response. Ian and potentially Alan, Paul and Bob if they can make it, thank you so much.

    I'm praying these magical conditions continue :-) It's going to be a fab weekend!

    I believe, but may be corrected that they got 11 hours in and pulled out due to the cold.
    I believe they are having another go soon better prepared etc.
    Somehow my names been put on the list too. Shite
