Last year I met a couple runners just before I got to Fleet Moss and we were going well and chatting so we decided not to hang around at the check point (it was just before we were due to be grouped) and pushed on together with the idea that we'd already have most of a group. Another guy joined us and we stuck with each other and presented ourselves as a group at the next check point and the organisers were fine with it. I'm very happy we did because Andy was an excellent navigator and he got us through the last few legs much quicker than if I'd tried to navigate it and that meant we were allowed to complete after the event got cancelled. With the exception of Andy, we all had wobbly moments at various points along the final stretch but we managed to rally each other to keep going.
