Borrowdale Fell Race

[GeoffB]

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.

Cheers Huwski! It would be good to see you all, but don't hang around for too long, anything could happen between Keswick & there.

Hope you're fit enough for it, anyway.

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.....)

Is that stick to the race route, or to follow the tourist route

Stick to the race route, or back track to the coll below broad crag:
lingmell was interesting, but not a recommendation!

I'm expecting it to be very hard. You had better get some fell shoes for this one!

I may try my spikes if not

Meet at the Scarfell Hotel carpark at 10 for half past (just in case M6 a hassle )

Mike - are you coming?

Please cut and paste and add your name on the list - you can PM me with mobile numbers etc then I can have a list in case of last minute cancellations/problems/lazyitus!!

I have the Garmin route from last time but don't bank on me being able to follow it!

So who's in??

I really wanted to do this, but I just don't think I've got the mileage in my legs at the moment.

Dom - you'll be fine! It'll be slow and I'm gonna need someone to keep me company at the back

[Graeme]

So it'd be more like a long walk
