learning BGR sections

[Bobert]

Thanks Ian. I've gone down deep slack off High Raise and wondered what Birks gill (north of ash crags) was like. I did notice a trod has developed way upstream on the LH branch of deep slack when going clockwise. This heads off towards High Raise on grass at the point where you normally head for Sergeant Man.

Can anybody please tell me...how easy is it to go from High Raise to Calf Crag?

This would be done and an anti-clockwise round as im sure you all know.

[Donkarlo]

Easy

Head NE and down Birks gill as stated above it's easy. contour round to the path. also a good place to pick up good water.

Thankyou chaps.

And to get to Steel Fell carry on contouring.

And then down to Dunmail Raise, up to Seat Sandal and then pop up to Fairfield.....is that bit equally easy....looks fairly simple on the map.



Oh and dont worry, im not reccing for a BG attempt....just planning a "bus to the lakes Run".

getting between High Raise and Steel Fell is not much problem, but if the clag is down actually finding Calf Crag can be a slight challenge (eh Karl?)

[Al - I've just PM'ed you]

eeh I forgot that i'd started this thread, some 6 years ago. I was pretty naive back then but I sure enjoyed "learning the sections" and have lost none of my BGR appetite. Happy days.

[Stolly]

Yep, the very very best thing I've ever done in fell running is not the completing of my BG but the learning of the whole route.... normal way round and back to front

Im.looking forward to learning the route. Not sure if I will be having an attempt in 2015 or 2016, all depends on if I get the damn ankles sorted.

Hi everyone, I see this thread has been going on for a few years now but as im a new member im sure you,ll forgive me for adding to it. Im fairly new to fell running and ive had a couple of long runs (20+ miles) in the lake district. Ive done a couple of legs of the BGR but im mad keen to to learn them all or just to run in the mountains. Im lucky to be a shift worker so i get time off through the week as well as 2 weekends off a month. Im based in Bellingham northumberland and im wondering / hoping one of you kind people would be kind enough to offer me some guidance or assistance in 2015.
thanks in advance
