rf_fozzy Jul 2020 11:34pm, 8 Jul 2020 10,589 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy Even if doing Hartsop Dodd as an out and back, surely it makes sense to do SCP on the way out, then contour lower on the way back? Just looking at the contours you're saving 20m or so climb. Plus a bit of distance?
flyingfinn Jul 2020 12:21am, 9 Jul 2020 1,765 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn I think it looks deliberate so a change of plan I think. The nature of the ground and the line you want for the best descent to Threshthwaite Mouth makes it more sensible to do Stony Cove Pike on the way back. The map doesn't always tell the full story.

K5 Gus Jul 2020 6:57am, 9 Jul 2020 3,642 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus Yep, looks like she stopped at the road crossing before Baystones, rather than at Troutbeck which is after Baystones. She was 50 mins down on her own schedule before the stop, and at the top of Baystones 2h43m down, so looks like she had her 2 hour break. After her and Paul's different stop strategies, she's now 25 mins down
flyingfinn Jul 2020 7:44am, 9 Jul 2020 1,766 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn She's gained some of that back through Troutbeck as Paul had a break. He summited Sour Howes at the equivalent of 7.41 so the gap there should be more like 10 minutes. Pretty much level pegging after 3 and a bit days. Just over half way!
