The BGR is 'just' a walk, you'll be fine, flip

There's more running involved in a sub 24 hour BG than you'd need to do in the L100 if you took over 35 or 36 hours

That's for dead sure. I think FR is quoting someone else's [famous] words here ....

I reckon the 100 is 'walkable', contrary to what the organisers claim. A strong fellrunner (top ten in Classics Trophy?) could do it. My understanding is Billy Bland is the only person to walk a BG and it's well beyond all but 'super-heroes' imho

Kevin Marshall walks the 100, finished it a few times now as well. No idea about about the BGR. Haven't looked at it as its not on my list.

Flip, when are you planning to do your BGR?

I don't think the two are comparable, really. There is a huge amount of climb involved in a BGR, it's a different beast altogether.

MG - for your Leg 1 recce, do you mean you took the line to the West and then came out by the Blencathra center? I know what you mean, but if conditions were a bit dodgy and you didn't fancy Halls Fell (and I don't blame you), Doddick would probably have been a very viable and shorter option.

Northern Exile...yes but I didn't go right to Blencathra centre, cut across left off Blease Fell to Threkeld, if I'd had other running people with me I would have gone down Halls Fell
