A quick note to everyone who will be running the Edale Skyline race on Sunday. Good luck! Hope you all have a great race. I`ve had to pull out with an Injury so am feeling gutted after all that training. Will enter next year. I live local and will offer my support as you go round. Cheers, Live in Hope.
where are you watching I'll keep an eye out for you?
I guess you do actually live in Hope.Quote:

Don't forget to wave as I pass. it will be easy to spot me. I'll be wearing the Dark Peak Vest...
Thanks mate, look out for the rossy vest.
The bloke wearing it hasn't trained properly for this one due to injury, so i'm going to find it a tad hard.:eek:
Any locals care to comment on the ground conditions around Brown Knoll? I'm assuming clarty and slow and not frozen over the way we're all hoping for?
I did a recce last Friday of the whole course which was a cracking training session, including the ooze between Mam Nick and Jacob's Ladder.
Brilliant course - hats off to whoever devised it.

I'd have to say it's a tad moist. A bit heavy going definitely. shouldn't be too bad if you get past it;)Quote:

That was exactly how it was early on Monday morning. The route from Lord's Seat to Jacob's Ladder was reasonably firm - frozen on the surface and soft underneath, but parts of the route from there on were very slippery, and I fell several times on my way round.Quote:
