    Brilliant write up Nic, sounds likes its pretty rough out there. Total respect to anyone doing a BG, attempting one in bad conditions really is something else. Good luck Claire and credit to you Daz for giving it go, top man.

    Owen packed at Dunmail. We went out with him on Easter Monday and he was very strong. Him bailing is a good measure of how rough it must be and how well Claire is doing keeping on

    DT, thanks for the update on Owen. Wish it had been better news but once again full respect. When will this sh*t weather end?

    Cyclops - tracker updated live data a few minutes ago. There was some buffered data (no signal between Pillar and Kirk Fell), I also know when she drops down to Honister about half way down we will loose signal for a while. Not quite sure why the line is not being drawn, have asked Rob the web guy behind the website. I can see it on my admin page judging by the spacing between updates that she is moving along steadily (slowing up Great Gable - but who wouldn't). No Worries JT

    I was supporting Daz on leg 3 and it was pretty horrible conditions up there cold wet and poor visibility. Great effort by Claire in these conditions, in decent weather she'd of smashed it! Got back to the campsite and the little stream was a raging torrent - was literally minutes away from my tent being washed away!!
