If you check the tracker it shows the times between each of the hills, if you scroll back you see an extended time of 3-6 hours each night when he's been grabbing some rest.

I keep looking at it, saying I wouldn't do that as that because....then looking at it again and changing my mind, then a 3rd time and changing my mind again. I guess it's horses for courses!

Rosehip Jun 2019 10:48pm, 19 Jun 2019 12,839 posts	0 Rosehip I don't know anywhere well enough to comment on route choice - except that I think if I was looking at the problem from scratch, with no previous attempts to go by - I'd do Binsey first to get the road bit out of the way... Wondering whether he'll grab some sleep tonight or go for broke and see how much he can break the record by?
Northern Exile Jun 2019 6:59am, 20 Jun 2019 5,180 posts	0 Northern Exile Seems to be going well this morning. I bet he was glad to get that climb from Low Bank to Wandope out of the way!

flanker Jun 2019 12:34pm, 20 Jun 2019 18,347 posts	0 flanker On his way up Dale Head, 4 to go. This must be a section he knows like the back of his hand and can run in his sleep. Probably a good thing DT - huge number of calling and low flying curlews on last night's run from The Newdy up Standing Stone Hill and round to Gibson Mill. When they swoop past low you realise how big they are
Northern Exile Jun 2019 12:45pm, 20 Jun 2019 5,185 posts	0 Northern Exile R4R - was that at Newlands Hause? I noticed that too. It would be a good place to refuel and get some treatment I guess.
