BG season

[Spookster]

I enjoyed completing the course, because until you do, you have no idea whether you can. I can.

I'm surprised you doubted yourself. Never occurred to me that you might not get round. Maybe I'm under-estimating how tough it is?

Sub-20 is excellent, but bad luck with the hot weather that stopped you getting a really fast time. It's probably too early to ask if you'll have another go...

And great report! I'm looking forward to another supporting run on leg 2 (but it's actually leg 4, going anti-clockwise) in a month's time, when Dave H has a go.

Well done Andy; enjoyed that.

Brilliant report, fantastic effort on a hot hot day.
Yes, you can do it. Especially impressive to do it when its not gone so well.
Sorry we missed you at Robinson.

Brilliant stuff. Currently reading 'Feet in the Clouds', so was excellent to read your report....if only the lakes were a little closer...

[Tatty]

GReat report Andy. Don't know what target you set yourself, but you should be mighty proud of sub 20 hours.

[andypat]

That is immense Kitch. Out of interest what was your target time? 19:58 seems pretty outstanding to me.

Hello all
Can I point you to a unique attempt on Billy Blands amazing record for the BG

I know it is cheating a bit using so many runners but at least it is a novel way to try and raise some money for charities that are closely linked to people organising the event.
I will be running one of the Wasdale-Honister legs and helping out wherever I can.

how do you test your headtorch? I think that Phil has the most 'alternative' method...

That is the way to do it just feeling good and keep going when helping someone else... good effort.

[graeme]

That is the way to do it.

...as opposed to losing half an hour on Mungrisdale Common in the dark. But despite having to beat the schedule for the rest of the day, Pat Bartlett turned it round for a comfortable round. Another fine effort!

Dave Harrison's turn next weekend.

Good Luck Dave!

[Spookster]

Dave Harrison's turn next weekend.

Good Luck Dave!

23:51 - well done Dave!

[SIman]

Well done, Ackers!

Ackers did it 23:51 Bob Graham - 9mins to spare. Great achievement given we had <10m visibility for the overnight leg. Top effort!

I would have said great achievement in any conditions!
