Latest info on our attempt
We depart Pooley Bridge at 6pm on Friday 31st July ( i.e one hour later than first planned) on a 22 hours schedule (two hours longer)
Approximate times for the 3 crossover points are as follows:
Kirkstone - 22:50pm
Dunmail - 02:30am
Sty Head - 0840am
We are very grateful for the offers of help and support received. Taking major responsibilities for navigation are Phil (leg 1), Julie Gardner (leg 2), Julie and Dave Tucker (leg 3), Chris Cripps, Debs and Annette ( leg 4). Kath and Greg Turner have offered valuable road support. The detailed schedule will follow shortly. It would help Colin and I in finalising the schedule to know whether those who have volunteered to carry our stuff and and provide general encouragement, succour and balm have any particular preferences for any one leg. Please let us know if you are only available for part of the journey, afraid of the dark or susceptible to sunstroke (because the weather will be good) and we'll try and arrange the schedule to fit individual availability.
Other news.Thanks to Julie G, we will have use of the flat at Greendale Bridge which will accommodate a few tired bodies, and a room has been booked at the Strand Inn in Nether Wasdale for dinner and drinks. Nearer the time we will need to get numbers
Finally, if you're still thinking about it, come and join us. It should be good
We are very grateful for all the help and encouragement already received and offered
Jim & Colin
