12th Saturaday

Cathys Bg, and I would be Nav man for Leg 3 with a start time of 4:30am ish. I set off early with Andy McK so Cathy, Mick, Stuart,and Adam had some lights up Steel Fell as a target which work well. So we had a regroup and off we sett.The leg went well and the Morning sunrise was worth the early start.Broad Stand was Dry and we race up this time. The long decent will never get any easyier but I find the right hand path after the stream a lot better then the uneven main path, just dont go too far.
After some pasta and a nice mug of Tea at Wasdale we set out again leaving Andy McK and picking up Richard J the climb up Yewbarrow and onto Red pike was a killer with the Mid day sun beaming down and no wind we all over heated. Cathy need a few extra stops and she started to slip behind her time. We approached Kirk Fell and Gt Gable Cathy had all but give in but she wanted to complete Leg 4 Which we did so after 13 hours it was a sad end for Cathy but it was a good training day.
