Did I hear correctly at the start? That the Great Gable checkpoint time was extended by 15 mins?
I was with the two marshalls for quite a while on gable ( prob about an hour). Two quite jolly likeable chaps. I stuck loads of jelly babies in my hat and they seem to go down well. But when Marvin came through i moved on so left the jelly babies in a poly bag for them to hand out.
It has to be the best marshal point in lakeland.
Didnt hear them say anything about extending the cut off times.

Oh and a bloody stag party came on gable , they had bottles of beer even.
