Shortcut on Leg 1

To try and save time we have opted for an alternative start to section 1.
Day 1 (The monday): Walk into Rockburn hut
Day 2: Head up the beans burn to the bivvy rock
Day 3: Cross Fohn Saddle and down onto the Olivine Ledge staying at the bivvy rock there
Day 4: Drop into Olivine Flats and up to the Bivvy Rock below forgotten river confluence

Alternatively weather permitting we may try and cross over Irvine Peak via the Merki Glacier and down into Forgotten River flats
This is to avoid having to cross the forgotten river.

This option will bring previous dates forward two days as we are walking in one day earlier and we are saving one day by avoiding the hollyford
