Macclesfield Harriers

Any word on the schedule yet? If I can't keep up on whole leg am hoping can do bits and then shortcut to catch-up or something like that. Tempted by Wasdale fell race a little bit, but would rather support this BG if poss. Will be in lakes either way that weekend.

Just to let you know that Jonathan is not intending to compete with Billy and Mark! He's running on a 23h 20min schedule and is intending to get round rather than aiming for a fast time. I only have a paper copy of the schedule and the key timings are as follows:
Depart Moot Hall on Friday 12th July at midnight
Arrive Threlkeld 03:50
Arrive Dunmail 08:22
Arrive Wasdale 15:03
Arrive Honister 20:18
Arrive Moot Hall 23:20

Macc Support is as follows:
Leg 1 Matt
Leg 2 [Matt]
Leg 3 Phil - Jonathan has already arranged a navigator for this leg but he'd welcome your company anyway and I'm sure that your advice would be appreciated.
Leg 4 Mudskimmer, Everest Mandy, Fletch, Digby
Leg 5 Mudskimmer, Everest Mandy, Fletch


I'll put everone in touch by e-mail with Jonathan but will need Everest Mandy's and Matt's e-mail addresses - pl. can you text these to me on 0771 749 7640.
Thanks, Digby

Digby,
If I`m not needed to lead leg 3 I`d rather take a break from it(it would be my 5th this summer).Should I help "Les Girls" with the nav on 4,not that I`m as good as CC on the demon shortcuts but I`d reckon to get him round.
On another topic we need to talk about your PB.Who`s doing what etc....bring maps to talk to CC & me tomorrow
Phil

Some navigational help on leg 4 would be great - I think we know it (or we should by now), but it would be good to 'cement' our (my) knowledge of the route.

i'm on 07949 640608 and matt_k_h at yahoo dot co dot uk

am ok for legs one and two and am presuming thats as a pack horse rather than nav ?

Just in case you didn't get text my email is mandy777@btinternet.com.

Whatever you do, don't rely on me to Navigate!!

Fletch,sorry you didn`t enjoy the Goyt,but don`t stop trying ,after all even Barry & Trevor can find a few controls these days.
By the way Chris,Polly & I will pick up your dummy while we`re bringing in controls this morning!
Phil

Hi Phil,

Laughing!!!

In case you can't find my dummy, it is probably up near check point no.12 somehwere!!

Jules

Where's checkpoint number 12??

Just kidding....we found that one - just.

The way I look at it:
We found a few
Nearly found lots
Didn't attempt some.

Glad you`re all still smiling,no sign of dummy.
Phil

Fletch,
Are you out at The Ship tomorrow?If so we need to talk about plans for Saturday.
Digby & I are currently planning to drive up & back,going in to Wasdale from Seathwaite over Sty Head,then getting dropped back at the car rom Honister.
Phil

Hi Phil

I agree we need to discuss plans. I will make sure I am at the Ship tomorrow night. My thoughts at the mo are to make my way up there either Friday and camp somehwere, or Saturday and camp Sat night. On hols at the mo, in fact til the 21st so free to stay up there if wish, but all very weather dependant! and of course whether I can find the courage to find me way round the fells on me own!

Jules

Hi Julie

Did you have a good saunders? I'm thinking about trying to wangle Fri off so can recce fell races and then free to go with flow sunday rather than feel have to recce.

You'd be fine on the fells on your own, you've loads of fell running experience. That said it's more fun when there is someone else to laugh at you when you go A over T, as will probably happen to me now we have nice wet gound conditions!

Mandy

G the G and Me will be going up Friday night - I can't get the day off I'm on retirement course?!
Our plan is to eat at the Salutation and then kip in the car at Threlkeld ready for the L2 03.50 ish start, then he'll drive round to Dunmail to pick up E Mandy & me.
The plan then is to camp somewhere close to Keswick and then up to Honister for L5.
We are also planning to stay over to Monday - weather permitting.
