Feet In the Irish Sea...

Well, the weekend went well and to plan - Shap to Stonethwaite in Borrowdale on Saturday, then on to St Bees on Sunday arriving with just 20 minutes to go - as I started the recce from Robin Hood's Bay at 6pm. Good weather overall though it began to rain in Patterdale and arriving soaked through back at the van on Sat left me wondering what it would be like in that condition with only a very basic bivvy bag to bed down in (as opposed to the comfort of the motor caravan) though there are showers on the site. As I would have 2 hours remaining on the last day (with a usual start from RHB of 8pm) it would certainly be more feasible to get under 5 days on a consecutive attempt but it still presents an enormous challenge to get to Shap in 3 days and have enough left for the two 30m days through the ups and downs of the Lake District.
