Soft snow was making for very slow progress. Plan seems to be to then restart from there this morning. That's going to possibly put James ahead on the ground or certainly them very close together based on the timings I'm seeing.

flyingfinn Dec 2021 9:43am, 5 Dec 2021 2,938 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn Not sure what's going on but Tom's tracker is now heading away from Mardale Head on the road?? (It was previously stuck where he'd have lost signal, not where he stopped). Either the tracker has been left with the crew or he's stopped the attempt?
