Wasdale

[DazTheSlug]

looks like they've drawn the line at 400 entries

there's a reserve list, so I guess it'd be appreciated if anyone not doing it could tell the RO asap...

Just found out I'm in this year. First time.

Anyone got any route knowledge our tips I can look at on the maps before I go?

Cheers all

Anybody got an unwanted entry?

Yes got to look at this - Thanks DrPatrickBarry.

Is there a bit of a trod on this route on race day?

Thanks very much.

The part south of wastwater is marked. Most of it is on or close to paths , and established fell running dodges like black crags. The "tricky" part that goes off piste is seatallan to pillar, across the flanks of scoat fell and whilst there is a trod, You could lose it in clag if you got separated so study the contours for that or I could imagine someone taking a major detour there.

My OL6 explorer map does not cover the full route (missing the last bit to Pillar and onto Great Gable)

What is the best OS map to get that covers this route in full, or will a copy printed from the link given a few thresds back be OK?

Thanks

I usually print out map "fragments" that cover the whole route and mark them up with approximate intended route (!) plus a few choice compass bearings

the Harveys 1:40000 map of the whole Lake District is brill to have with you for emergencies (for both kit-check and use on the hill!)

Long range weather forecast suggests that the race conditions will be similar to this weekend, so could be a bit warm.

Is water available at Woodhow?
