Yep, "awesome" sums it up nicely. You'd have to be pretty resilient to get into Derwentwater at 9.00pm on a cold and frosty night, especially if you'd just spent the last 22 hours plugging around the fells and lakes.

I've been informed of a few more details this morning: In case anyone is wondering how Tim managed to swim across Derwentwater in such a linear fashion, it transpires that Keswick MRT turned out and escorted him across in a RIB. Well, if you have the contacts ...

Agree with awesome. The Derwent Water swim was the bit that struck me as proper hard

The two Dark Peak guys got round in 18.55. Phenomenal in those conditions!

There is a mid-Winter FGR attempt ongoing: Simon Gray left the Moot Hall at 0500 this morning and is flying, currently near the top of Grisedale Pike. At this rate he's on for a record round, never mind doing the first mid-Winter FGR. Simon has done a sub-20 BGR in the past.

Anyone wants to see the tracker link, FMail me.
