swittle Jun 2019 9:51am, 16 Jun 2019 55,407 posts	0 swittle I'm following Paul Tierney's 'dot' and he's picking off the peaks in style. Not knowing the nature of the challenge, how is he actually doing? It's a formidable 'ask'.
Rosehip Jun 2019 10:27am, 16 Jun 2019 12,815 posts	0 Rosehip He finished day 1 - which Steve Burkinshaw ran with him ( that) about 40 mins down on SB's time I think. Gained time steadily all day yesterday and checking against the times in SB's book I think he was about 1 hr 45 ahead of time on Lingmoor. Don't know what the weather has been doing or will do - looks like it's been at least damp in places. Very impressive

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
