Stef had no luck with the weather on Friday night / Saturday and had to bail out of her BG attempt around Rossett Pike before dropping down to Langdale and an unscheduled breakfast at the ODG with Yiannis
Leg 1 had gone relatively well for Stef and she was ahead of schedule at Threlkeld. I was doing road support as planned and had to call Keswick mountain rescue out because one of Stef's pacers, Nigel, didn't come down off Blencathra with the rest of the group. He has a broken arm and hairline fracture of the skull following a fall, but is recovering well thankfully after being taken off the mountain by helicopter
Strong winds and biblical amounts of rain slowly ground Stef down on legs 2 and 3 and so she decided to quit before moving on to the high fells
Many thanks to everyone who came out to support. Get well soon Nigel
