Shame about the weather, was looking forward to some tough navigation but it turned out to be a course for the runners, ie not me! Despite our worst ever result, I think I enjoyed it
It's a pity that the organisers won't use routegadget, it's be good to know whether any of our less popular route choices were any good or not.
Did anyone else on Bowfell opt for the climbers traverse round Gable instead of Windy Gap? What routes did people choose from 3 to 4 on day 2 (we went up to the Haycock rodge and then back down, which I think was good as we were overtaken by some of the same people on the way to 5 as had overtaken us earlier in the day).
Did anyone findthe vaguely suicidal-looking planners route to the last control on day 2, straight down the craggy hillside from Red Pike? We went for the scree run down Black Comb and gained about 10 minutes on the others in front of us who went for Wind Gap![]()
