Macclesfield Harriers

by **Jon Chapman** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:12 pm

As many of you will know I have now completed both the Paddy Buckley and Bob Graham.

My obsession to complete all of the 3 big rounds this year therefore lives on !

I am drawing up plans to attempt the Ramsay on or around the weekends of 13th September or 20th September.

The exact date will depend on the support I arrange and the weather charts !

I would be really grateful of some support (I know some of you have already said that you may be able to help). I am not after a time just completing in under 24 hours

Please contact me if you are interested either on the forum or phone or email

We are all off to Chamonix at the weekend for a well earned rest so I will firm up the plans when I return at the beginning of August

Jon,
I`m not quick enough over the rough to be much help except perhaps for a carry-in.
Do you need a road support driver?if so pencil me in.

jon, put me down as a maybe - i can carry on any leg but know the mamores best. it will depend a bit on how my new job is panning out ( i start 1st sept).

i am away in the picos from 23rd july to 29th august but you can contact me by text.

Jon,
You don't know us, although we both used to be Macc Harriers - we're now reformed /or/ lost to the dark side (delete according to point of view).

Speaking to Phil Cheek the other day, he mentioned that you were planning a Ramsay Round.
If you need support we'd like to volunteer to help. Can't say I know the route well, but we can be willing pack-mules (just don't follow too close behind - tendency to kick out).

We'd both like to have a go at the Ramsay next year, and supporting would be a great recceing opportunity.

PS: hello to the other harriers !!

You won't know me, but have been tagging along with midskimmer & fletch supporting recent BGs. Will be on Isle of Skye until 12th so may be options to help If you go for weekend 20th I could be tempted back up north. I would struggle to keep up though!

An update

I am working up plans to start between 10am and 12 noon on Saturday 13th September with the Ben first.

I will post a schedule (which will probably be at between 22:30 and 23hour pace) on the forum when I have worked out when it will go dark.

Can anyone let me know where to look For Fort William ?

Cheers

Jon

Jon,I`d look for Ft William just past Glasgow,that`s in Scotland which is just past Lancaster!!!!!
Seriously though if it`s accommodation you`re after you could do worse than the selfcatering mobile homesw a few miles out of town at Corpach.
Google Linnhe Holidays into your machine to find them.

Checked the diary now Jon & sorry but I've already got several commitments that weekend ( & the following 2 weekends ! ) so I will not be able to help. Best of luck with it & hope you can find yourself enough pacers etc...

OK, the above table assumes that Fort William is 5 degrees 6 minutes west and 56 degrees 48 minutes north. Add one hour for BST.
