No worries Steve - I had my own mini epic adventure from Scafell onwards.............Originally Posted by stevefoster
Well done The Noor, some other good runs by forumites, daz h finishing well up. Fell Pony Daz the Slug finished
Bad luck Manhar, keep smiling though
Guess which Chump went walkabout on a clear day no less - slithered down the scree slope then POW, must have had a senior moment big time (will be a V45 week after next). Quickly realised I was on the wrong side of the mountain - Styhead tarn & Gt Gable were so near yet so far. Had to scramble / contour to get back on track, crossing Piers gill before taking an almost direct route up Gable (who needs a path pah !). Got to the top in 4 hours dead & realised I wasn't going to get to Honister inside 30 mins, especially as I was unsure of that part of the route (ahem) so took the sensible decision of retiring. All good fun.
Good to see the usual suspects throughout the day including MUD & Sonja for the walk back from Styhead - the chocolate cake was delicious.
Was feeling quite good looking at my split times eg got to Scafell in 2:25 & even summiting Gable legs felt Ok. I'll be back next year - I'm going to nail this sucker..........:thumbup:
