Car shuttling between Threshfield and Fleet Moss would be straightforward even if it is a bit time consuming. We would need to meet at Threshfield to leave by 8am in up to half the cars for Fleet Moss (the outlook point on the road map and car parking area on the OS map).
We're talking Saturday 4th April. Would anyone prefer to meet earlier for an earlier start? Any other thoughts? Who is definitely going? So far I make it:

Bugger, bugger, bugger - I wish I'd known sooner you were doing this. I threw my hat into the fellsman ring kind of late, still haven't received my 'manual' and have pretty much zero idea of the lay of the land between Fleet Moss and Buckden Pike. Unfortunately I've agreed to run round the 3 peaks on 5th April with two friends running that race for the first time so can't make 4th April

On a seperate issue is it usual to get the manual so late? I love maps and I'd very much like to be studying the potential route from the checkpoint grid references. Can anyone give the grid references while I wait?
