WillBill Whew! That was hard!! Rather pessimistic as it turned out, with both time and weather. Turned to be hot, at least for the first climb to Harter Fell. Fortunately the cloud shielded the sun from then on, otherwise I might really have suffered. As it was, after a good run off Harter Fell and over Hard Knott, there was a long, hard slog up Little Stand. Picked a good route off but I seem to have lost the knack of descending without fear, so lost ground on the descent to Three Shires. Bonked towards the top of the climb up Swirl How and weakened progressively on the traverse of Dow Crag. Much needed food and water meant I was at least able to shuffle at a little over walking pace from White Pike to Caw, and then run down, relieved, to the finish. 58th overall and low-twenties Vet place (I think).
