flyingfinn Aug 2020 12:53pm, 26 Aug 2020 2,189 posts	0 flyingfinn DT all terrain is runnable. The limiting factor is the human not the terrain.

Northern Exile Aug 2020 1:38pm, 26 Aug 2020 6,750 posts	0 Northern Exile Oh I don't know Fozzy, I think I could make a decent fist of running it given a chance. As it happens, guess what we did on Sunday? I'm going to have to disagree with your not unfortunately. I am fairly certain that Carl Gray must have pelted down there a week or so back.
flyingfinn Aug 2020 1:50pm, 26 Aug 2020 2,190 posts	0 flyingfinn I'm afraid I'm with NE on that one Fozzy. I've done summit of GG to summit of KF in 29 mins on a Joss support and I certainly did plenty of running in that (as we did on Sunday on Bobs) and I would guess that Karl was the best part of 5 mins better that on his record breaking run.

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 :-)
