This is terrific. Looks like High Raise now. Interested to see the line around Grisedale Tarn. They went the outflow side but then took the track up from the Seat Sandal side rather than the Cofa Pike route. I've never done that 'hybrid' option. Wonder if it was intentional and if so, if it worked?

Also noticed the Raise Beck option in descending Seat Sandal. I've always thought that was slow and awkward but it's a very unambiguous line and more sheltered. Fascinating to see such variations.

High Raise next! Good luck out there

Leg 3 seems to have been more straightforward. About 3 o'clock Honister? 4 hours to finish? Might catch end of the cup final!!? Weathers not getting any better though, 'sunny and showers' later. Good luck Andy et al!!

Oh no.....what's happening around Scafell

Phew....back on track, thought the tracker was rolling down the Hollowstones path!

Gripping stuff stuff this, really should get some work done though!!

I see he went the full 3 ups and 2 downs of lords rake. Interesting to know how much snow there was.

Is my maths wrong or is he a long way off schedule? Bob's 23 hr schedule has Red PIke at about 16.5 hrs. if the plot is pretty much "real time" he is there now at about 19.5 hrs.
MWIS is not giving very nice conditions up there.

pat you can do last leg in 2.40 if not quicker if your really moving well so there will be no break at honister
it looked as if he had problem with yewbarrow

I noticed that the trace was "stuck" halfway up Yewbarrow for a good while - maybe 45mins. Currently back off Steeple at 19:45hrs.

After a surprisingly cloudless Leg 1 and what looked like a star-lit Leg 2 (at least to start) the weater's been pretty foul all day up here, but is much improved now (3:30 p.m.). Come on Andy!

I think the delays in map updating are all to do with inadequate mobile coverage.

I hope the lad is finding some enjoyment. It isn't easy when you know time is precious.
