Edale Skyline Fell Race

[Wain]

I also stopped to help a fellow out of a bog on brown bog! had to get assistance from a passing group it took 2 -3 people to help him out. Thanks to the ROs and marshals, not a good day to be stood around!

I bet he didn't bother with a pie. Probably had a few rusty nails and some broken glass instead.

I had two pies. One for each foot. The terrains actually pretty good along the skyline. Worse bit was that blasted road before lose hill

Apparently he's running Land's End to John O'Groats barefoot later in the year. I think he's from Buxton. Maybe that explains it...

Im not actually from Buxton, just moved there a couple of years back

Donating the £400 I save on shoe money to Stroke Association once I've finished the run.

A while back I saw a post on the DP site that there are plans to install an pavement over brown knowl. Does anyone know if the pavement will be on the racing line? Will the map have to change .... Bogs -> Tedious Flags

How wet is Brown Knoll at the moment? Is drowning feasible?

Mark - they are going to flag the path. I'm presuming this will be the green track marked on the OS maps, so a bit off the initial racing line, but this could make the slight detour to it quicker? It's a shame but I can see why they're doing this for moorland preservation purposes.

Rich - it's always a bit boggy just before you reach the final drag to the trig - if solo ensure you take a good look at the ground before you cross it! If you want a GPS trace search Strava. I did once have to be pulled out by CVFR's finest.

Could be an interesting race this year with the champs race the day before expected to have an effect upon the start list.

I presume you'll be doing both, Nic?
