flyingfinn Dec 2021 2:00pm, 7 Dec 2021 2,949 posts	0 flyingfinn Looking at the tracker it looks to me like James might well be holed up in Mungrisdale Village Hall and with the pub just across the beck there that is certainly a smart place to be. It should help maximise the recovery he can get out of the enforced stop.
paulcook Dec 2021 2:04pm, 7 Dec 2021 189 posts	0 paulcook That’s where he was when I looked this morning. Seems a hugely sensible decision. I’m getting battered at near sea level on the other side of the country just walking for lunch so couldn’t imagine how fierce the conditions would be out on the fells.
SimonF Dec 2021 2:28pm, 7 Dec 2021 252 posts	0 SimonF One of his support from last night lives in Mungrisdale so he may be in his house.
flyingfinn Dec 2021 2:44pm, 7 Dec 2021 2,950 posts	0 flyingfinn Ah! Or given the tracker position has access to the village hall, which if I remember rightly is well equipped and ideal for spreading kit out and getting sorted.
Northern Exile Dec 2021 4:01pm, 7 Dec 2021 8,279 posts	0 Northern Exile Sounds like James has got his contingency plans well sorted Did you see his retreat route? I love every inch of the Lakeland fells, but it's hard to love The Tongue, it's horrible terrain. Birkett has a lot to answer for
Rosehip Dec 2021 4:08pm, 7 Dec 2021 23,327 posts	0 Rosehip I thought he went down the path rather than along the top and down the nose? It’s a pretty decent path, to walk up anyway
