_andy Jul 2020 6:04pm, 10 Jul 2020 10,762 posts	0 _andy Amazing - Sabrina is now 23 minutes behind Paul T's time (http://live.opentracking.co.uk/pault19/) due to barely pausing before Souther Fell (SV: 110H 39min, PT: 110h 16min). Looks like a bit of backtracking there? Not a fell I know. Blencathra ascent now live.opentracking.co.uk

Northern Exile Jul 2020 7:12pm, 10 Jul 2020 6,563 posts	0 Northern Exile The first time I tried to get off Little Mell it was a nightmare, a real maze of nasty, spikey gorse. We did it relatively recently as part of a circuit around Gowbarrow etc and found a much nicer way off, but as flanker says I expect someone who knew a way round all that stuff must have lead her off the fell. Great Mell is straightforward, doesn't have the same problem.

flyingfinn Jul 2020 8:12pm, 10 Jul 2020 1,784 posts	0 flyingfinn Paul was certainly helping her Weds night/Thurs morning from Kirkstone to Troutbeck. So more than likely Gus is spot on. It's the way it works. The attitude was summed up when Jasmin paced Es Tressider on the last leg of his record breaking Ramsay last year when he broke her record by 81 seconds (she had in turn been paced during her record round by Jon Ashcroft whose record she took).
