Mark's 50 at 50 - Timing error revealed


Final summit, Causey Pike, we thought. Pete wrote “Except a minute later we realised that not only was this photo taken on a false summit but the schedule 'skipped' half an hour and we were now out of time. That was an amazing last 40 mins to get back to Keswick with a couple of minutes to go!” The error when later corrected gave a schedule time of 24:05. In an instant our comfortable time cushion and easy pace evaporated, and we had to race for it. From the top of Causey Pike we had 50 minutes to get to Keswick. Achievable, but we would have to work hard.
