I then used that to do initial calculations. The schedule isn't a statement of intent as that's not Carol's way of working; it's a planning tool for getting support in roughly the right place at the right time and I'll rework it for the support team as the week goes on.

He was down doing lots of recce runs a couple of weeks back, then a short 3.5 mile shakeout run just outside Keswick showed up on ~~strava~~ this morning......

Northern Exile May 2021 7:50pm, 21 May 2021 7,658 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile Gus - seeing as you've mentioned it..... the word on the street is indeed that FW may be having a crack at a fast BGR tomorrow. A very fast one, so I'm told. He'll need luck, the weather is not good. I was Back O'Skidda today with Tom and it was pretty miserable.
