Duncan, DonKarlo,
Strictly speaking I have no holidays left until April but I may be able to work something out - work extra to make up time.
The weekend of 21 - 22 March may be a possibility, followed by sometime over Easter then the weekend before the Fellsman (1 - 2 May).

[Donkarlo]

21st is out for me but the Sunday isn't so bad.

[Duncan]

21st early start - need to be done by early pm.
22nd no
4/5th April very good
err..that's about it.
I'm specifically looking at Cray-Threshfield. Another Pennine runner is also good for those dates.

[Donkarlo]

I hope you mean threshfield, threlkeld a bit far for the week before !! I'll have a look but 4/5th could be good for me

[BritNick]

I might be able to manage Sat 4th April but not the 5th (clashes with Lakeland 100 recce no. 5).

[Duncan]

4th April it is then:

Duncan
Dave (another Pennine)

Do we start at Cray or do a bit more...say, Fleet Moss too? or make a real day of it and start at Redshaw. Maybe we should move this to the recce section as a new thread....

[egor]

any other recces planned by anyone?? im away 3rd april so cant make that one.

[BritNick]

I'd be interested in starting from Fleet Moss as well to practice the route round the southern edge and from Middle Tongue to Stake Moss. That already comes out at over 23 miles to Threshfield or 21 to Capplestone Gate, which for a recce over that terrain could take 7 hours or more. Adding car shuttling time makes for a long day.

How fit/fast are you guys? I'm hoping to get a recce in for 14/15 March but would benefit from a second visit and could make 4/5 April. It's the weekend after the Edale Skyline though so I might be a bit slow.
