Cairning of the BG route

[Al Fowler]

Cairns are here to stay! Unless we do away with people.

And it is as inevitable as night follows day that the route of the BGR will get more and more "visible" and all the carping is just another boring version of the fell runners' version of "it wasn't like that in my day".

And it will get worse when my book on the BGR route for non-fellrunners, on the lines of Wainwright's Coast to Coast book, is published.

Very true and i feel the same.

I see what your all saying and that erosion is a big problem and it needs sorting.
But isnt it like fighting an endless battle.

Half of you are making it out that the Bob Graham has become so easy now and its not like it was. The BG is my ultimate dream and your all suggesting i might as well just run up skiddaw as its worth as much.

Cheers Ian .
