BG Attempt 17/18th May 2013

[stevefoster]

You just have to build the hours up DT. Start with an hour in the chair then an hour out till you have built the reps up to 4 hours at a time. Its all about time on your backside! Make sure you have plenty of snacks and liquid refreshment on hand though as they come in handy when the tracker starts sticking

Don't forget chair-side support Alf, unsung heroes of a successful BG (bum grounded) attempt :wink:

Tough luck everyone who failed but just keep plugging away and your bound to get good weather eventually. And good luck bob the dog who I think was a/c -ing with a morning kick off.

We hung around and watched Claire come in she was still smiling and up beat, a really good effort and she deserved to get round after digging that deep in that weather and she even found time to come over and chat and thank us for the cake and stuff we passed over at wAsdale a really nice young lady. There was quite a crowd of us in the end me and bill bumped into Jon Steele and Shirley, adnan manhar marmalizer was with us and a few lads form races today and support from another round joined us we out numbered Claires lot in the end. All I all a good weekend out.

The lad that went at 7am yesterday got round about 30mins ago, bill saw him finish and had a chat while getting provisions, said he was upbeat and looked good. Another epic and well deserved round well done john

So John / Bob the Dog got round but over the 24 hours old 'un?

We went across too as we were on our way to the theatre to see Monty Halls talk! our lass had a wee cry and she's never met her!! First time I've actually seen a finisher. I've seen people milling about before but not an actual touch of the green door!! It was good to see! Pity I didn't recognise anyone!

Just got back home & the sun is shining. Respect due to anyone out on the hill in tough conditions like Friday night / Saturday morning. Well done Claire on completing. Big, big apology to Daz for yours truly backing the wrong (fell) pony on the way up Skiddaw (please don't ask) - next time the gap between us will be paper thin. Was an eye opener seeing what it takes - 3rd time lucky Daz ?

Good to meet up with a fair few forumites old & new faces.
