DW was supporting a couple on leg 5 and I had asked if it would be OK if I came along. I needed to get a few more miles in befor ethe Highlander next weekend. The day was perfect and because they were starting early (8pm) we could be done and home in time for tea. After finding the support team at Honister we kept an eye on the skyline for the runners to appear. Everything was ready for the changeover.
Arriving 30 minutes up on the schedule, feeding and a change of footwear, then off up Dale Head at a stready pace. The two contenders had now become three and there were five supporters.
The summit came on schedule and turning to look back virtualy all the route could be seen. But not wanting to linger too long the party were soon heading in the direction of Hindscarth.
A few minutes made up and off to Robinson. The last summit.
Everyone was going well and we were soon down and running along the lanes and paths back to Keswick. I found the off road route really good and would certainly recommend it to anyone if they had the time. There can only be a few minutes in it. Moot Hall and round in 21.28. Well done.
