Hi dave that's it.

Follow fence line from Yockenthwaite (very boggy and tough under foot. get past here by dark if possible) to South grain tarn over fence as it turns North I seem to remember. and follow bearing as you go over the first rise you should see flashing beacons leading you all the way. take a bearing as they disapear from time to time. CP on the track which you then just follow all the way down to Hellgap proper and the next CP at Cray and hopefully grouping.

This is the last tough climb.

good luck

think slow and steady for first 20 miles and concentrate on cp to cp the finish will appear eventually

I've had a bit of a panic. Studied the instructions last night and read that printed maps wouldn't do (I got away with them last year). Found the requisite maps in the third and last shop. All a bit pointless in time and expense as I'll only use my printed ones anyway. But rules are rules, even if arbitrary, I s'pose.

Hey don't worry you'll be fine, just do as Ian says take it steady, keep moving and keep eating and drinking.
