I like your competitive attitude! unfortunately being competitive and no-nonsense can wind up the less competitive types.so seeking the opinions of respected and experienced fell runners is not something you would recommend ?
i find your reasoning very negative, unhelpful and defensive... or do you have better reasons behind your judgement of 'if you have to ask you shouldn't be doing it'..which is laughable
I've done Wasdale a few times and its always longer than you think.
Best tips 1) a food/drink drop at Greendale (as you drive up the valley to start)
2) Have your bearings handy cos in a non-champs year you may be alone, if your up there. 3) Eat well 4) Be aware that you've still an hour to go when you get to Sty Head 4) Dont take the wrong path avoiding Esk Hause (easy done) 5) Have clear bearings off Scafell Pike including across to Lingmell Nose.
Assume that you'll be on your feet for 4 hours or more.
