Thread: Kinder Dozen

  1. #41

    Re: Kinder Dozen

    Just out of curiosity, how tough is this on the ankles? Seems a lot is off path therefore may be quite hard?

    Still thinking of things for next weekend but don't want to f*ck my already delicate ankle.

    Okay. 3 weeks out of pot, still got swelling. Very conscious going off track would you do it?

    Thinking of doing the killer and the dozen next weekend on Sat and Sun with a camp and a few beers in Edale but also want to ensure that my ankle stays in one piece.

    Take plenty to eat and mark your map bearings before , saves faffing about.

    Thats all I need to know

    Cheers for that! I did 3 peaks after 10 days of no pot and no real running for 6 weeks so I guess we may be cut from the same cloth?

    Anything I do will involve a lot of tape and slow descents.

    I have thought of a back to back over 24 hours but that would be massive challenge.

    By the end of the weekend you will know Kinder pretty well. Good luck

    Oh please don't take that as gospel as there are plenty of different ideas flowing round my head for next weekend.

    This was just one of many.

    I went round the Dozen today in 7hrs 23min starting from Harry Moor. I don't think it stopped raining the whole time I was out, and the low cloud made the navigation interesting. I didn't see anyone on the hill at all.

    I think I would have managed it quicker if I hadn't still got a BG reccie in my legs from Saturday, so IDP's 7 hour Dozen looks doable.

    My time was 41 minutes quicker than when DazH and I went round in January, but I didn't stop to eat. It's definitely easier the second time when you know the terrain better, but it's still very tough on the legs and ankles. I'm even more impressed with GeoffB's time of 5:45 - how do you get round that fast?
