What's the best way back to Ingleton on Sunday from Threshfield?
About £50 in a taxi or 3 buses ... I'm leaving a car in Threshfield on Friday and staying in Ingleton that night fo a quick getaway on Sunday.Originally Posted by RogerM
I guess some people may be driving back to Ingleton on Sunday who you could scrounge a lift with?

Book a seat on one of the coaches from Threshfield first thing Saturady morning; that way your car will be waiting for you at the finish.
Or if you've got the balls, run it. Direct line route ---> here; only 22 miles or so
(Marginally more sensibly that route would work with a mountain bike too)

From the entry notes : "Coaches leave Threshfield at 06:00 prompt on Saturday".
I'm staying at Ingleton Friday night so the above will mean too early a get-up for me. I'll probably do a mixture of thumbing a lift and busses.
It would've been better to stay in Threshfield
If you happen to finish... and if I happen to finish... and if we both happen to finish at the same time (stretching things a bit for sure) I'll be able to give you a lift.... assuming my legs will allow me to bend and sit in the car.
We still haven't decided where to stay!It would've been better to stay in Threshfield
Threshfield sounds more convenient - but we'll get an extra 3 hours sleep on Friday night if we stay near Ingleton
When the coach departs Threshfield I'll still be asleep in Ingleton. That seems a better deal to me but could go pear shaped if someone sets an early alarm in the YHA dorm.It would've been better to stay in Threshfield
My game plan is to clear Fleet Moss and group at Cray then finish in around 18 hours. But again, this could go very badly pear-shaped. I won't be rushing back on Sunday because I want to savour the atmosphere and re live the memories from 20+ years ago when I was last there. Thanks for the offer, it's too long a shot to expect us to be both leaving at a similar time.If you happen to finish... and if I happen to finish... and if we both happen to finish at the same time (stretching things a bit for sure) I'll be able to give you a lift.... assuming my legs will allow me to bend and sit in the car.

I have reluctantly deicded the only option was the early start and bus. It means I will have a car in Threshfield at the finish. I live in Preston and would happily offer you a lift back there but would not really want to return via Ingleton.
Regarding the 300 grams emergency rations
What is the best to carry for this on the understanding that it is not to be eaten unless you retire or are in an actual emergency?
Would 300g of chocolate or 300g worth of energy bars sound like a good idea as it would be dense and not take too much space in the bag.
Any suggestions?
I weighed out 300 grams worth of Mars Bars and taped them together, satisfied the kit check and ate them a few days after. It's only a safety aspect, the food at checkpoints will keep you going.
