    Go and ride it anyway, on another weekend. In fact, do it soon’ish then you can say you’ve done the Whitton but in worse weather and no poncy feed stations #doublehard

    Did it with a friend last year as a normal ride. Parked in Keswick because it was more convenient. Arranged it so we finished with the Honister climb. Changed the nature a bit doing Hardknott earlier but saved faff with logistics.

    Spent the entry fee on a café stop. Did it the week before the actual event (convenient date more than anything). It was a pleasant temperature and dry.

    Nothing to stop you doing it anyway. I really enjoyed the route.

    Not at the moment. GPS logging sort of makes it unnecessary though.
