Well, I'm in.
Recce'd he first half today, in weather you can only hope will be something like race day - glorious day out with the dog. Gentle pace, enjoying the views.
Bumped into, and ran along with DPFR member Simon Bourne for the section from the plateau to Win Hill - thanks for the chat and the tips, good to meet you.
Ran out of steam on ascent of Lose Hill(note to self; next time have a quiet day the day before and no G&T/ wine with dinner!), made it to the Nick in just over 3 hrs at a gentle recce pace, incuding all the stops to double check bearings, paths, junctions and call back the dog, whose map reading needs some work.
Managed a cheeky refill of water from hosepipe at the farm/ B&B below Win Hill
Feeling good for the day.
Recce second part in a couple of weeks, before of after the Cloud9
Lovely stop at the trig on Win Hill - great day to be out
