I have done this event three times before, been succesfull twice with a time of 24hours. Each time when crossing Fleetmoss I have descended then followed a mase of fences/walls.
What do the people who seee more of the route in daylight do , follow the fence straight across Fleeetmoss accepting the bogs. Or is there a better choice?
theres a better choice......Originally Posted by beaker
go on ian share! ive been toying with having another go so would be interested in alternative route choicestheres a better choice......
Go on then Ian please divulge the path through the dark stuff. Training over black hill is my ground but would rather not get too friendly with it after 40 miles.
Last year I went through the bogs full on.............. and its definitely not the quick route
It's a lot easier now this section gets crossed in daylight!
If it's dry the fastest route's follow the fence. If it's not dry some still do this (it's straight forward, but mucky - sometimes pays off).
FWIR ... Avoiding the bog involves following the road round to the right, and then cutting back towards the watershed.
But your real problem is getting across Middle Tongue!
Thanks Rudolf, done the one where you drop down the road to the right. Yeah I have to agree that from the watershed the route to middle tongue is not easy.
considering just accepting the bogs and following the fence away from the check point . Just hope that I get grouped with some one that can pull me out.
Sorry couldn't resist it.
Yes I'll pass it on as I've done for others. I'll dig it out and post it or PM it later
Ian thanks , was thinking that if i can get to fleetmoss for grouping then stand a good chance of getting 20 hours...... can try and hope.
the target is to get THROUGH Fleet Moss before groupingIan thanks , was thinking that if i can get to fleetmoss for grouping then stand a good chance of getting 20 hours...... can try and hope.
