Adam Perry started at Braithwaite this morning 5am Friday 13th June and has now reached Langdale just 1 minute behind schedule, going extremely well. Watch his progress live. Scroll to the map or click on Adam Perry for his tracker. http://team.inov-8.com/adam-perry-tracker-78-peaks/#comment-1317 Dave

By the way he started today i.e. Saturday 13th - Friday 13th wouldn't have been a good omen! _________________________ Pennine Way 2005&2014; C2C 2006; SWCP 2007; WHW 2008; GGW 2008; Dales Way 2011; Clev.W 2012; Yorkshire W.W. 2012; Offa's Dyke 2013; Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path 2014; Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2015: Land's End to John o'Groats in stages 2018.

Harland Full Member Registered: 29/04/05 Posts: 1307 Loc: North Yorkshire	It looks as though he has had to abandon as his tracker is showing him going back down to Wasdale rather than on towards Red Pike. _________________________ Pennine Way 2005&2014; C2C 2006; SWCP 2007; WHW 2008; GGW 2008; Dales Way 2011; Clev.W 2012; Yorkshire W.W. 2012; Offa's Dyke 2013; Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path 2014; Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2015: Land's End to John o'Groats in stages 2018.

Harland Full Member Registered: 29/04/05 Posts: 1307 Loc: North Yorkshire	He tired me out just watching what he was achieving. As you say a valiant effort. Even to contemplate doing it in a week would be more than most of us could aspire to. With, of course, some very notable exceptions on this site! _________________________ Pennine Way 2005&2014; C2C 2006; SWCP 2007; WHW 2008; GGW 2008; Dales Way 2011; Clev.W 2012; Yorkshire W.W. 2012; Offa's Dyke 2013; Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path 2014; Pembrokeshire Coast Path 2015: Land's End to John o'Groats in stages 2018.

Latest is in his own words that he struggled early on in the surprisingly warm temperatures and high humidity and although pushing hard never found his rhythm. Then cramp and solid quad muscles got the better of him and being 16 minutes down on schedule that he knew he couldn't make up, so on peak number 51 he stopped. Dave.
