Thank you to the summit marshalls on Gable (Howgill harriers) for the escort back to Stonethwaite and then a lift to the finish and thank you to the organisers for sticking around awaiting our arrival - apologies for the late check in- definitely picked up the lantern rouge.

A pleasure to meet Livi & Wharefego early doors & good to see the big man Amex chillin at Esk Hause with his possee.
Manhar I think I followed you and your group for what seemed like hours. There was myself and Willheim, at the back and I was convinced that if we managed to cling onto you three then we might get round. I took a wrong turn before Esk Hause, so then I was a long way back and I list you around Scafel. Anyway you'll be glad to know that your pace was the limit of another runner's ambitions. We baled out at StyeHead. Missed the route up Great Gable and time was heavily against us by then. Well done for getting to the top.
