Fiona Fulwood plans to set off on her Bob Graham Round on Friday 23rd July and is keen to recruit additional support runners for legs 2 and 3.
For the uninitiated, leg 2 starts at dusk in Threlkeld, goes southwards along the Helvellyn range to finish at Dunmail Raise at dawn. Tim Rippon will also be supporting her on this leg and your duties would include helping to carry Fi’s food, water and spare clothing, keeping her morale up and keeping an eye on the navigation. Leg 3 continues from Dunmail Raise at dawn, goes across via various summits to the Langdale Pikes, works it way round to Bowfell, traverses the Scafell range before dropping down to finish in Wasdale shortly after 10:00. I will also be running leg 3 and your help would be most welcome as above and especially to keep an eye on my navigation! If this sounds a bit onerous, all I can say is that supporting BG’s invariably gives an excellent day out!
If you can help, either message Fi via the DPFR Facebook page (she’s Fiona Jones on FB) or email me on… carshare at dpfr <dot> org <dot> uk
