We were lucky then, but the prospect for the Lakes this weekend is 'uncertain'.<br /><br />Yes, the fee has been paid, train to Oban booked (£27), and route - Oban to Arbroath - submitted.<br /><br />Hope to see you before then. Our coffee pot is on most mornings...Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-50507185922637180522017-03-15T07:41:23.779+00:002017-03-15T07:41:23.779+00:00That's a lovely route - you were so lucky with...That's a lovely route - you were so lucky with the weather too.

By taking a diversion up The Tower he succeeded in getting behind everyone, but by the time he caught up, most people had left his (widely advertised) route in favour of going 'off piste'.<br />[I don't know about the leader walking at the speed of the slowest, but it's logical that the leader should wait for everyone to catch up and check that they are in sight, and I'm sure Graham was doing that. And if adults with maps chose to go off-piste, that's their choice. In fact that almost always happens at this particular event - 20+ people set off together and arrive back in small groups. it's just the way it works.]Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-75775977613516935922017-03-07T18:35:02.640+00:002017-03-07T18:35:02.640+00:00That's a smashing route that Graham chose and ...That's a smashing route that Graham chose and such wonderful weather too. <br />I thought that the leader of the walk should walk at the pace of the slowest walker. That's what I was told anyway. Have ideas changed.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.com
