Daz's Weekly Update:

raising of support seems to be going well - quite a few definites, plus a few consulting their diaries!
exclusively hill-support though - could do with a few volunteers for road-support...

took day off work yesterday and did Leg 1 plus Clough Head - 7100ft ascent, all pretty much at target pace, so happy with that at this stage...

Sounds a good omen Daz.. I'll reply to your PM by e-mail, but basically, put me down for whatever. I am not upto to the responsibility of navigating, but I'll do whatever else. Good luck and steer clear of kebabs!!!

Daz's Latest Update

Manhar had kindly volunteered to do the Honister and Dunmail road-support slots,
but I still haven't got anybody for Threlkeld or Wasdale...
(or Newlands for the swap to road-shoes)

I've got at least 2 hill-supportes pencilled in for each leg, but what I'd like to do is have 3 just in case of drop-outs, then if it gets to 17th May and all 3 are keen then so much the better.
So I'm still looking for a 3rd volunteer for each of Legs 2 and 3...

if anybody fancies bagsying any of the above slots, PM me...

Daz do you still need anyone for leg 3 ?

Daz do you still need anyone for leg 3 ?

certainly do - especially if you have any navigational expertise!

[Tahr]

I am happy to help out on Leg 2 if that helps, I will make sure I know the route well before then.

Hmmm.... Navigational expertise ? Whats that ?!

Seriously though, I'm planning a run out of over leg 3 next few weeks and I'm reasonably familiar with the route from High Raise onwards. Fitness should hopefully be good as I'll be doing the Welsh 3000 race mid June

Tahr - Many Thanks for the offer!

Will - I know Leg3 well enough to nav it myself in good vis, but I could do with an ace navigator in case of clag :w00t:

Please could you both PM me your email addresses...
