hmmm...I see you've used a sans serif font but have slightly offset it to the left. What font will you be requesting your pacers/navigators to use? Do we all need to pass a calligraphy test first and will you then select the official 'peak time noter'?

I've helpfully already completed the first page (on the basis that I manage to leave exactly on time if nothing else) and all time recorders should hopefully be able to scrawl the time nicely and not go over the lines of the box provided...



Incidentally remind me to have a word with my waterproof notepad supplier Hester - the notepad only had 50 pages and I of course need to record 52 times (including Moot Hall, Threkeld, Dunmail, Wasdale and Honister arrivals and departures). Luckily I was supplied with two notepads and I've been able to take two pages from one to add to the other.... but, phew, it took me a while to come up with that solution!

You're expecting neat handwriting? Forget that, I can only write neatly in other languages and Mark's a doctor, he can only write in illegible scrawl. It's a deliberate ploy to confuse patients.

Hello Pat, well, I've been deliberately cagey about this (for obvious reasons), but if this weekend goes well I may commit to another attempt in August, possibly the 17th/18th.

Am off that Saturday Martyn if you need any help

Good luck all,remember its all in the mind

Maybe Mark can help with Stolly's OCD?!!:thumbup: Re the above: @Stolly, your supplier thought...42 peaks, 2 for the moot hall and 4 road pitstops...anyway, I've printed off the schedule and got busy with a pink highlighter and I'm now factoring in where the support crew can safely nap for an hour or so. In the meantime, I'm going back to print my goldfinch.

People,
I have to say Andy was excellent with possible the exception being the road where he showed quite determination he was always chatty, great mental attitude.

Well, I have to say that if I'd have had what amounted to a crevasse in the sole of each foot I'd have hated the road bit too

p.s. Cheers Andy

Through Dunmail on schedule. Am running over to Wasdale to meet them and guide round leg 4 this morning. Will send news whenever the opportunity arises. No, I don't own an iPhone!

Hi everyone, update on Stolly. Leg 1 was a bit tricky but he cracked it & was 15mins down but I've just seen him off at Dunmail & he's only 4mins behind plus the wrsther & visibility have improved loads. Thanks to Gav & Lee for helping us on 1st leg (I ran too). Adrian & Mark on 2nd & MartynP, Protodoc & Lucas are taking over now. Will try & post an update after Wasdale.

Best of luck to all going tonight :thumbup:

btw Stolly, if you end up on Grasmoor you should have a quiet word with your pacers :closed:
