well that was a trip! a brief report from me. Nicky set off at 4.00am with Simon Cox and Neil Talbott in what was supposed to be light winds and a few showers. The rain came down 3-4 times quite hard with low clag, Yiannis taking his role on the parachute. they made up about 17 minutes on the 3.27 scedule which was a shock. I was on leg 2 with Digby and joined mid leg by Neil bringing hot drinks. Nickys pace was astonishing and we were pushed hard in a strong wind. we had a really bad storm come through at Dollywagon. DW to fair field in 32 minutes and the full leg in 3.30! still 17-18 minutes up, 2 minutes rest and she was off with Tim Whittaker(Nicky's devils spine partner) and Joe Mann( using his recent fittnes on his munro round). I lost touch then but Yiannis rejoined at Rossett and IanF had a rope at Broad Stand I think Nicky had lost only a few minutes despite thick clag and rain wind

the conditions had got much worse as has been said earlier. Neil and myself drove round to Honister(after a brief trip to the pub for a carb top up) and walked in with hot drinks for the team Neil went to Black Sail and I went to Windy gap where Yiannis turned up out of the thick clag just after Borrowdales finest had passed by on a reccie.

I was worried the wet rock and clag would slow Nicky down, Ha! virtually to the predicted minute Iheard loose rocks above and Nicky turned up with support Tim, Dave Sykes, Olly Stephenson and Neil.

Nicky left Honister pretty much on time and continued through picking up Keith Holmes, Helen Elmore, Joe and Tim again(3 legs!) more heavy rain/clag etc.

Nick Cable joined in to lead off from Robinson.

Quite a big crowd awaited Nicky at Moothall including the support of Wil Spain and Sarah



Amanda Heading from Racekit once again masterminded Nickys round.

A flawless effort from a strong support for a remarkable woman.....

Nicky you know what your support thought......words just aren't enough. Well done.....
