[alwaysinjured]

more tired irritable the climb up bowfell was the only 1 that i had made time on surprisingly we were doing great from here to scafell pike 10.15 where we had decision to makefor scafell there were no ropes on broad stand and wwt was busy so had to go foxes tarn but this was not the issue the painkillers had worn off we got to summit 10.55 only meaning we would have got to wasdale by 11.30 1hr down on schedule but that was a decision i had to make do i try and stay close to schedule not knowing what my leg would be like by cp and how long i would be out for or take it easy down and try again in a couple of months or when recovered as it happens it took 2 hr to get off the damn thing and painful aint the word thanks to andy and martyn also, probably be back soon when recovered and i know now this is going to be completed

Very interesting insight Vespa. You were just unlucky, Am sure you will nail it next time around.
If roping BS had been an issue - ask me and I might oblige, just was not confident I could stay with you guys if you were striding out, so did not volunteer support.

Interesting that I heard thar Bowland had a guy go headlong on gable down scramble ( there is a fast line well rigt that avoids it, same route used in the borrowdale race) , fortunately no massive problem - I gather they wonder whether he drifted asleep. I went headlong once on halls fell at night. Concentration for so long is hard.

PS do you know something about lines to Calva I do not? I normally do hare crag. There is a trod left lower down but it seems pretty rough to me. There is also a funny shaped boulder high up where dead reckoning bypasses the first top.
Am all ears if you know something I do not!
