It saved the best until it had gone dark on the Carnedds, just to remove any questions about the winter classification.

flyingfinn Feb 2017 10:20pm, 21 Feb 2017 746 posts	0 flyingfinn Just been looking at the splits for 4 and 5. 6.40 from Wasdale to the finish, including by Jim's standards a fairly long (10 mins plus) at Honister and 2.05 from Honister to Moot Hall including one hour from Honister to Robinson. I think as the weather closed in he went into JFDI mode! Certainly explains why I started to breathe through all available parts of my anatomy! Great day out though, with some great conversation.

K5 Gus Mar 2017 8:44am, 22 Mar 2017 2,101 posts	0 K5 Gus Killian Jornet announced his plans for 2017 today - includes a Bob Graham. No mention of dates, and looking at the rest of his schedule it tires me out just reading it. Personal Projects - Everest, Bob Graham Races - Marathon du Mont Blanc, Hardrock, Sierre Zinal, UTMB, Glen Coe, Ultra Pirneau Will be interesting to see how his BG attempt goes, and who he gets to support - will it all be Salomon sponsored athletes ( I thought Ricky had pencilled in his own round attempt this year ? He could obviously do both depending on dates )
