Me and Gav are re-attempting our joint anti-clockwise Bob Graham assault on 22nd June... and this time we intend to whip its arse but good!!! Last year we were doing okay all the way to Dunmail but floundered in dire weather somewhere in the vicinity of Nethermost Pike on our over night leg 4.
No such floundering will be acceptable this time
Anyway all being well we will be setting off at 8am on 22nd June and we already have the bulk of our assault and support teams in place. That said inevitably its at the arse end of our schedule that we may need a tad more support - perhaps one or two volunteers for legs 4 and 5. Anyone with leg 4 'extreme fog' navigational skills will be particularly welcome. Just to ensure no-one gets confused by the fact that its an anti clockwise round, our leg 4 starts from Dunmail heading up Seat Sandel and our leg 5 starts from Threlkeld heading up Halls fell.
Our schedule still needs some refining but its broadly a 23 hour schedule and could be something along the lines of 2hrs 40 leg 1, 4hrs 45 leg 2, 6hrs 55 leg 3 (Scafell is a climb and a half ), 4hrs 30 leg 4 and 4hrs 10 leg 5. That could put us at Dunmail at something like 10:30 at night or ideally (well) before and Threlkeld at 2:50 am (or earlier..... but not a second later).
Anyway pm me if you're interested and I'll get back to you. I'm away for a couple of weeks in Cornwall shortly so any reply may come back a bit higgly piggly.
Pete M let me know if you're still okay for leg 2 from Honister??
