Fellsman Hike 2011

Fellsman Hike 2011.
Video includes the Community Hall before the start, the start itself, video clips along the way & our arrival at each checkpoint that we came to.
Unfortunately we were retired at dusk at StoneHouse as there were no other hikers to form a team of four for the overnight section.

Great video. Loved the heartfelt "at last" when you get to Blea Moor - I remember saying something similar (if a little more exasperatedly). I guess your battery ran out after Stonehouse? I really hope you made it. You look in a lot better shape that I was at Stonehouse, before crashing and burning at Redshaw. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful, I really hoped that you got around, as a bus driver on the event it is great to see some of the views from a hikers perspective.
