Bob Graham Round, 2005

Duncan and myself at the start. (Photo - Lawrie Jones) Myself at the shelter on Helvellyn at 6 in the morning and not too happy. Climbing up Steel Fell from Dunmail Raise. Yet more climbing! Approaching the summit of Steel Fell and feeling a bit tired now. Leaving Thunacar Knott for the Langdale Pikes. Walking along the lip of Langdale towards the summit of Rossett Pike. On Rossett Pike. Coming off Great End, with Ali just behind. The big group of us coming off Great End, heading towards Ill Crag and Scafell. Approaching the summit of Scafell Pike. Compare this with the last photo in the slideshow of my first attempt. Heading down to Mickledore and Broad Stand. Traffic jam on Broad Stand. The long descent to Wasdale from Scafell. I wasn’t looking forward to this but it wasn’t as bad as I feared. The rest at Wasdale. Cath administering to my feet. The start of the climb up Yewbarrow. There are fourteen figures in this shot! (Hint - trace up from the step in the wall. We are the central group.) Heading down to Dore Head from Yewbarrow. (Photo - John Preston) On the way up Red Pike, trying to keep up with Christine. (Photo - John Preston) Starting the descent off Pillar, Yewbarrow and the scree run from Dore Head behind. (Photo - John Preston) Descending Pillar, Kirkfell and Great Gable ahead. (Photo - John Preston) Leaving Green Gable with all the rough stuff behind. (Photo - John Preston) Arrival at Honister with John Preston pacing. Very happy as I’m sure I’m going to do it.
