All the best Jon.

Don't get carried away at the start - but at the same time make sure you get Phil out of his bed early at Dunmail, we don't want him lying in now.

Glorious day and Jon did a sterling job of riding out any fatigue with dignity and aplomb... well done that man... a pleasure to have been there... to see Greg Turner in action (foot massages a speciality) was a joy to behold! :lol:

Well done Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Congratulations Jon.
A great achievement and a grand weekend on the fells. Leg 4 and 5 route taken by me is here but the aficionado's amongst our readership will be quick to point out that I did not go to the summit of Yewbarrow and avoided Kirk Fell altogether having been designate water gatherer. Rest assured that Jon did both tops and much else to boot.

Watch this space for the video when it comes out.

Once again, well done Jon.
