As I've put on the other thread, it wasn't horrendous and I've certainly reccied in worse.Originally Posted by Stolly
I don't think it would have been too bad, other than maybe that little bit down to Sell Gill Pot after Whitber Hill, the muddy hill just as the route leaves the Pennine Way heading for High Birkwith and the swampy dip immediately prior to the assault on Whernside. (The race route cuts out all of the brilliant bogs)
Yes it was even drier than expected - but that meant thicker mud rather than sloppy mud and it clung to the footwear.
The new section off the top of PYG, also sections of the decent from Ingleborough weren't so good, but more slippy than muddy in parts due to the wet, muddy footwear that had already gone through.
Probably the backmarkers saw the worst of it.
