anyone got any spare maps
yeah cmon what time
is it on sat or sunday
Saturday and emmilou knows the way!
I'm sure she will be on here soon with arrangements.
Having got around Kinder Trog yesterday I'm hoping Borrowdale isn't too much harder.
Its about twice as hard and a little bit more.
Saying that yesterday gave me some confidence about borrowdale.
I thought at the weekend 'I'd better start getting some long runs in'.
I did 15 long hilly miles on saturday and it nearly killed me, I some how seem to have lost all my fitness this past month since Buttermere, I've got six weeks to try and get it back
I'm expecting it to be very hard. You had better get some fell shoes for this one!Originally Posted by mxhornet
Bad news I'm afraid - Borrowdale is a lot harder than the Kinder Trog! More climbing, rougher terrain and no organised water stops. You can expect to be out for twice as long at Borrowdale compared to the Kinder Trog.
I showed emmi and wobblehead the route!
The only thing they didnt do was the direct descent from scafell pike, because I was curious to find out how descending to lingmell coll and the start of the corridor compared with the race route
( in conclusion dont! whilst I am not sure there is much in it on time, it is really rough and unpleasant - at least with the scree descent you get it over very quickly, and if you fall, even quicker still.....)
Hey up - Does anyone (emmilou????) have the garmin trace of the last reccie?
My leg is healing slowly and I am hoping to see you all at some part of the day. Would be good to be on Scafell Pike at 1:00pm to give GeoffB a cheer though.
Tip! Take a map and a compass, use them, note down the key bearings....
