new date 13 july for bgr help

It's getting a bit painful watching Roy's tracker. So far down on schedule & just hitting the heat of the day I'd imagine. It was pretty grim running in Derbyshire yesterday from about 12 onwards.

Not sure what happened at Foxes Tarn? Seems to have lost the path? He says he's going to complete whatever Andy so it may be a long day watching the tracker.

Foxes Tarn looks a bit odd as it looks like they climbed up to Mickledore again. And it looks like they've backtracked on the way down Scafell as well - should have gone down a bit further then down by the scree rather than climbing back up I'd say. Mind you, maybe they're just tracker glitches.

Just checking the story with the times now, it maybe a situation that whoever had the tracker left Moot hall for a pee and it started the time. Will have trackers fitted with "Any Network" sims in the next few weeks which should improve things for the black spots.

There are just a few problem zones for the the Gps that seem to be frequent, dollywagon, mickledore, rakeshead. Couple more for the networks where transmission is delayed such as fence line of calva. Am generally amazed you get the reception you do. What networks function in wasdale?

PS - did you get anywhere with the functionality I suggested? Touch a point on the track and display the time at that location? It would really help those looking at tracks. Presume the tracker transmits device time stamps with coordinates?

He's got a big decision to make now: can he face the flog up Yewbarrow & leg 4 or not? If it's as hot there as it is here, he's just about to face the hardest leg of the lot I'd say. The first half of leg 3 will have been a lot cooler.

I think yewbarrow/redpike is the most daunting climb of the round. Chapeau if he attempts it. But i think there is a problem - he was moving very slow into wasdale.

I know. I can't believe he'll carry on now. I won't find out for a bit though: got to go out now.

looks like he's jacked it in. Can't blame him at all! Though the trace could be a supporter who forgot to hand over the tracker, though I do think Roy was carrying it! A shame if he has jacked!

I can inform you that Roy called it a day at Wasdale.

I will leave it to him to fill you in the details, but I think it highlights just how tough this challenge is.

Big thanks for Jack who nav’ed us perfectly though the Leg,bad luck to Andy who had a big drive up for leg 4.
