rhb I think he's still cycling. The tracker is producing dots again that seem to be spaced in line with him still being on the bike. Not sure I quite understand the tweet you linked. It implies that he was about to start the BG over 4 hours ago, where as the tracker is showing him still some way from Keswick at gone 9.30pm?

RHB could you elaborate a bit on your plan? I do a circular route from Ingleton that goes over Ingleborough and Whernside and then follows the limestone ridge back to Ingleton. You can easily get seduced into going through the falls and then having to pay, but it's not difficult to divert around them. You have to do a tiny bit of incursion onto private land, but it's minor. Happy to share details

That ridge back is always about 50% further than you think but a great trot back

Ff there was an image which suggests a big chunk skipped? Tweet echoed that?
NE I'm travelling S from Haltwhistle tomorrow, it's a point to point so I'll be passing through, not looping around, Ingleton. I've planned to pass the falls N headed W-E then drop S into Ingleton.

I'm impressed with anyone cycling up the 591 in the dark this weather - seriously scary! Looks like he could start BG 12 hrs behind schedule, hope his support have had some kip!
