Thanks I still feel think that I have quite abit of work to do, mainly on trying to practice/recce the route and do a couple of legs at once. I have my last big weekend planned for May which is 4 weeks before my attempt, where I will do two legs together.

My support team is mainly friends from my running club and my navigators are experienced fell runners on the BGR that my friend "nee bother" has kindly arranged, as he knows them well

I do hope to get to the Lakes as often as possible and will keep an eye out to see if it's possible to meet up with any of the recce's that people plan on this forum. I would also like to help people out on actual attempts, however as my attempt is all booked for mid June this may not be possible, as we all seem to be going around the same time and I will need a little rest and recovery period
Pleased to hear things are going well Ash, I also have launched into a proper training cycle leading up to my attempt. You raise an interesting question and something that I have been considering - that of a "little rest and recovery period". I wonder what the optimum taper would be for a BG? Most people try and get a back-to-back support in prior to their own attempt, but any normal mortal will need a recovery period from that. I'm thinking that about 2 - 3 weeks of gradually decreasing intensity with a total rest week leading up to the Big Day should be sufficient. What do you think?
