    My info as it stands is if you want you can go below the path ie drop down contour etc but you can't cross the plateau. so stick too path. To cp below Winn Hill, I know of no restrictions, either follow the obvious path or take your best reccied line..

    Kit I'd bring every thing just in case. it will still be full water proofs map and compass etc. the extras may or may not be eased, bear in mind that over recent years we have had many serious incidents of Hypothermia so the RO may err on the side of caution

    I'll be at Mam nick I think and then at the end selling ale.

    Ian

    Exactly. No time for such frivolity. Wing it on the day, that's what I'll be doing.

    For future reference, at Win Hill we were directed down the path into the woods to pick up the contouring forest track - the option above the woods was not allowed.

    Though a large group of runners cut out the loop left and hopped a fence or two instead. Grumble.

    Great photos Mr Clough. Nice day for photo-taking as well as running. I took a few myself: in-race photos are here.

    Edale Skyline 2018 - the main skyline page on the DPFR website says new route

    - anyone know is it the reverse of last year(checkpoints are numbered ANTICLOCKWISE),

    - with a trip out to Grindslow Knoll as well?

    - but minus the diversion into the forest down to Ladybower?

    i.e looks like the route I remember from 2015, but in reverse?

    (the subsidiary skyline pages still show last year's route and the cutoff at Edale Cross AFTER the cutoff at Mam Nick)

    (I recce'd this year but didn't make the start line. Mother's Day!)
    Best Wishes

    We're still waiting for the final permission for some section from the land owners but....

    Yes old route but in reverse. Cut offs times are still to be confirmed yes but doubt you'll have any trouble.
