I've not done the race before , but I'm thinking that leaving a bottle by the road ( Nether Wasdale ish ) after the first hill would be a good idea ( is there a designated crossing area which is marked on the Friday ? )

and also one up Black Sail/Great Gable area would be good too

is this a usual practice for unsupported competitors ?

any advice/experience/thoughts ? Thanks
There are loads of place's to fill up from.Joss gives water out at Greendale,About 10 mins from here you cross Greendale Gill,then nothing till you start to contour round Kirkfell (Sail Beck) and last Sprinkling Tarn.
