Congratulations to Andy and Dave from Pennine, Julien from Glossopdale and also to Phil (I'm definitely not doing more than the first two legs) Winskill who all successfully completed rounds yesterday with the support of the Pennine machine. Well done. Bad luck to Mark who wasn't well - I know you'll be back to go all the way round before long.

Well done all

I had a great day supporting the two Tring contenders, Alan and Henry, who both finished very strong, and ahead of schedule in about 22.30. Good to bump into Marvin at Wasdale, Great Gable, and again at the finish.

[Grouse]

Don't bump into him, you might make him drop something.

[Donkarlo]

Thanks guys, was a fantastic day, well done to all the other completers.

Thanks to all who turned out to help and say hello on the way round, it is humbling that people will go to so much effort to help somebody finish the round, much appreciated.

[Phil Winskill]

Thanks Marv and Daz for such great help. You definitely pushed Me and Julian to the limit. Felt quite a lot of pressure was on me once I had helpers at Wasdale, so giving up was not an option, although I really felt pretty rough at the end of leg 3. It hasn't really sank in yet as there was no build up with recces etc, so pretty pleased really. I now need to work out where I actually went...

Anybody know if the Tring lot got round OK?

Yes, congratulations to Julien, Phil, Andy and Dave. Julien and Phil seemed to be flying at the end and finished in a fast time. I struggled with stomach cramps (and several loose bowel movements) from Clough Head to Sergeant Man and then decided that I wasn't enjoying myself too much so Dan Riley and I retraced our steps to Dunmail . Pennine's support team were superb. I will definitely be back to have another go in the near future.

Well done Phil 11th Dark Peaker this year I think And to Iain karl Julienne et al, It was a near perfect day if a tad warm. I was on Scafell at Midnight in shorts and a thin base layer. It looked a bit cloudy towards the Dodds but was really clear and very warm where I was.

[Bobert]

So much happened in those hours, so many memories. I cannot thank everyone enough. It was such a humbling experience to have so many friends at my side throughout the day, encouraging me with words and rice pudding. One day i will never forget.

Iain

[Moorlander]

Well done again Iain. Im sure I can speak for all of your support team, by saying we all had a great time in good company.
