A mate of mine is also keen to learn the route but he usually works until 11am on a Sunday, which is the day I tend to go fellrunning (and I prefer to go much earlier than that.) So I'm appealing for anyone in a similar situation really - someone who would benefit from teaming up for lifts etc and who
is also looking to learn the sections.

I'm in a roughly similar boat, but may not start recceing seriously til next year

re Legs 3 & 4 - I had a vague idea to recce it in 2 (long!) weekends by:

1)staying at the top of the Langdale valley, strolling up to the pikes while I digest my porridge, then doing an out-and-back to Dunmail one day, and an out-and-back to Scafell Pike another day

2) staying at Wasdale and doing Scafell-LordsRake-FoxesTarn-BroadStand-ScafellPike one day, and Leg
4 another day

does this sound like a good/bad idea?
