Good luck Andy - here's my top tips:
1. Sleep: Try to get as much sleep as possible before your attempt.
2. Food: Eat something small every 20 minutes and start early on the climb up to Skiddaw. Don't feast at road crossings and remeber what you eat in the 1st 12 hours is key.
3. Drink: Ensure you have the option of water as electrolyte/sports drinks may become hard to get down. Coconut Water is full of potassium!
4. Schedule: Stick to the schedule on the first leg. It ensures you don't go too fast and blow up/ If you want to beat your schedule, there's more slack on leg 4 & 5 than 1 & 2.
5. Pain & Suffering: Most pain can be ignored/managed. You may feel bad for hours, but you will recover. Don't become withdrawn, stay chatty even if it's hard work.
6. Running: Don't hammer down the hills even if it feels good. Choose grass!
Finally, only stop if you are going to die!
Cheers for that Jason,its those downs I need be carefull on I love blasting down then ! Need to order people to shout at me if needed.
Where did you make most of you time up pal ?
