I was with one of the 2am teams and I think we passed most people enroute. I crossed the well worn trod onto Clough Head, but there are no cairns on the route I take, we had to double back for Watsons as I'd put my compass away and the clag was pretty thick (my lame excuse). We passed the last group(s) somewhere during Fairfield as they appeared out of the gloom behind us at the foot of Seat Sandal. We crossed the outlet and climbed towards Cofa for more grip and descended via the screes. Glad to see the cloud lifted for the next sections. Good running to all still going and thanks to the crew who gave us tea in Threlkeld before we started and commiserations to their chap who had to retire at Dunmail.
