paulcook 7 Jan 5:31pm, 7 Jan 2024 4,051 posts	0 paulcook I didn't enjoy descending Scafell Pike in perfect conditions during the OCT and our recce. His first effort sounded just a tad worse!!!

paulcook 7 Jan 5:48pm, 7 Jan 2024 4,052 posts	0 paulcook Blimey. A dark BG sounds mad If I ever get round to thinking more about attempting one, my motivation seems to have landed on the exact opposite! (though the window for such will only diminish) I've nothing but utter admiration for Finlay even thinking of this never mind completing. And so soon after attempt 1 to boot.

Ally-C 7 Jan 6:25pm, 7 Jan 2024 4,769 posts	0 Ally-C I was talking to a guy from our club last year who was racing Finlay in a local hill race & asked him what it was like having Finlay chase you down & he just shook his head 😂

SimonF 8 Jan 10:30am, 8 Jan 2024 422 posts	0 SimonF Conditions were great from Saturday morning onwards for the first time in the mid winter window. It was pretty much perfect and similar to when Kim set the previous record. Amazing to do that time solo, unsupported, off a map and all in the dark. I know it doesn't necessarily fit with the way he does things, but you do wonder what a supported Finlay Wild round (of any of the rounds) could be like!
