John,
If you don't manage to get in touch with your companions from last year, drop me an email and I'll happily share what bit of knowledge I have.
I've done the Fellsman a few times now and a few years ago someone showed me the Southern walls route to get over Fleet Moss - it's much less boggy than other routes I'd used previously.
You can contact me at 'kevinp at ntlworld dot com' (don't like using the actual email address, but I'm sure you'll work it out)

Regards
Kevin

I walked the Fellsman with these two gentlemen last year and they had a brilliant route across the Fleetmoss section.
Does anybody have a contact to either of these two so that I can pick their brains about that route?
Failing that, does anybody else know Fleetmoss in great detail?
Many thanks
John pennifold
