Leg 7 – Alan and Dougie

  • Duddon Road above stepping stones to Tilberthwaite quarry car park
  • Fri, August 27, 2021, 5:31: pm to 9:47pm

A slightly chaotic start as leg 6 appeared from nowhere while I was still drinking my hot chocolate. Rory could make 20 cuppas in the time it takes my kettle to make 1.

A hasty departure then the long hot climb up Dow Crag. We took a good line, got the psychological lift of ticking our first Wainwright, then settled down for the remainder. Some nice steady ridge running on gorgeous evening sunshine with the occassional wisp of cloud and the alarming strains of Alan singing something about mists and swirls over Grey Friar to the tune of Mull of Kintyre.

Wetherlam was further than it looked then night fell, and a fiddly slow descent at first, before heading south and much faster brakes-off running, with a pause for Alan to fall and give his ankle a theatrical twist (6/10), before the welcome sight of the lights waiting for us and the beginning of the night shift.

Big day out in cloudless skies. Ticked off some big mountains including scafell, scafell pike, great end and bowfell. We had a great day moving well over tough terrain. Managed to stay on route finding some nice little trods around the minor prominences that wainright felt unworthy of including in his list! Great fun.

Harnisha Hill summer time trial

Thanks to Rory and Meghan for organising last night’s time trial. The midges were well-behaved for a while then decided to make up for lost time and attacked with overwhelming force.

I was 6 minutes slower than last year – all lost on a poor descent of Harnisha Hill.

TURNER LANDSCAPE CANCELLED

Tomorrow’s Turner Landscape fell race is cancelled. From Facebook:

Unfortunately, after a ring round for advice, I’m reluctantly going to cancel tomorrow’s race due to the increased threat of lightning and the threat to the safety of competitors, marshall’s and spectators.It’s increased to a steady 5hr block around midday and I would prefer to call off now and minimise disruption.Apologies to everyone for spoiling your plans, if you know anyone not on FB who’s going, please let them now.I’ll issue refunds sometime next week and try and get my head round an alternate date.
