I wouldn't worry too much about the line up Wetherlam Matt, every time I go up there I seem to find a different line. On race day the bracken will be well flattened and the line well-defined. As for Blisco, well, as you probably found there are a couple of rocky steps off the summit that make it hard to get the right line. The trick is to head back South across the summit plateau but trending left, through the "gap" then hang a hard left. I recall there is a big square stone that I use as a marker down onto Wrynose fell and the runner's trod.

I came a proper cropper here last year and although I finished OK spent the evening in A & E. Looking forward to making amends this year (i.e. staying on my feet!)

p.s. Piccie below of the descent down to Blea Tarn in case it's useful to anyone. The bracken here will be pretty flattened on race day as well! Rough underfoot, care needed

Took ages what with lots of navigational pontificating and discussion but well worth a recce. Knackered afterwards so think I will find the race tough.
