Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Was that Paul Wilson's video? It was Skiddaw Lower Man. Horrendous conditions.

Struggling to phrase this, hope it doesn’t come out wrong

I think calling it last night, whilst still ahead/on schedule but seeing what the overnight weather was going to do to that schedule is as brave as setting out in the first place. It also shows how serious the attempt on the record was/is. Seriously impressed:)

It's been interesting comparing the splits from Nicky's record attempt today against Carol's from last year, it's pretty easy given that it's the same route plus the two extra Back O'Skidda tops. Unless I'm mistaken, Nicky was 25 minutes longer on leg 1 but that did include Bowscale and Knott. Leg 2 she was 10 minutes down, leg 3 a further 20 minutes and she's on leg 4 now, slower up Yewbarrow but faster to Stirrup Crag. Basically, she needs to make up about 50 minutes before 0300.

So place your bets here: 2 - 1 on for a Honister abandonment. Dave A - don't I owe you a tenner? I know you've been waiting a while, but Double or Quits?

if she does the same number faster, do they have to be the same peaks to count?

Rosehip. The peaks always have to be the same as the previous record. You can then add to that from a small list of qualifying peaks. There's some odd hills in the list too, like both tops on Kirk Fell, Looking Stead off Pillar and Sale How off Skiddaw.

So if she did 65 but didn't include all the ones Carol did then it doesn't matter how quickly she does them.

That's how I read the rules, but I wasn't sure - so has she or the tracker just missed 3 out?

We think she's dnf'd. My bet this morning was for a Wasdale withdrawal being a good shout but I was a little premature.

Poop, even earlier than I thought. Oh well, at least Dave didn't take me up on my bet.
