Without me you'd be one place nearer the back
Yes that was James at 1900. He had some pretty miserable conditions on 3 and 4 I think. Made the bumslide off Robinson fun.
Fair play! A bumper crop this weekend.

Great acheivement James... Rough conditions on 3&4 must have been pretty testing all round. WELL DONE.
Brilliant news, very well done. I woke at 5am on Sunday morning and was thinking about you. I kept thinking 'I'm glad that's not me up there'!
You must be feeling very proud - see you at the dinner!
Wow! Thanks everyone.
Yes, I'm pleased/proud to say that I got round in 23.25 in some quite trying conditions. We had a great run over Leg 1 and were brought down the parachute route by Yiannis who was waiting for us at the top of Blencathra. Conditions over Leg 2 were fine with only a little clag and cloud cover. Conditions deteriorated after this which made progress over 3, 4 & 5 a little trickier but I was fortunate to have some fantastic support who managed to bring me down to the crossings pretty much on time.
So I'd just like to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who supported me in my attempt. I know how much pressure there sometimes is on the support crew to ensure that things go well and given the conditions we experienced on Sunday, I think everyone did an amazing job. I felt very lucky to have such a great team out with me and hope I am able to reciprocate for you soon!
Well done to other finishers from the weekend.
James
