[Vegan Runner]

Vegan Runner have you got any vegan running ideas you can send me?!

What's a vegan running idea? Erm... don't eat cheese while running!

[MickTor]

Oops I meant recipe ideas!!

[sebp]

is all good richyf, we'll sort something out in the new year..
im in glossop today, going up bleaklow later, but lots of rain has fallen yesterday and last night, so might be foul out there, at a wedding tomorrow in hope, missus told me it was in hope so was going to head up mam tor, turns out is more hope valley than hope, so than means... parkin clough/win hill here i come sunday morning! Ill take some pics if i can find it, running from Thornhill, compass will get me there, looking at the contour lines, parkin clough looks mean! only looks like 2.5k from where im staying so can always run up the road, unless you can run up the disused railway ? if you run from the bottom of parkin clough up to win hill it looks like 170 to 462m in only 1000m! thats about 900ft!! ouch!

You can certainly run up the railway line from where it crosses the rough track / road which runs from bamforc recreation ground / tennis courts towards Thornhill. This is essentially the route of the Bamford fell race (well one of them), fast start then up Parkin Clough. Comes down a bit further to the right as you look towards Bamford from Winn Hill but this may be partly on private land, I can't quite remember.

Cheers for the info bigfella. Shame I had a few mishaps on bleaklow today so can't run Sunday. I've tweaked my Achilles in some way. Near the top I fell afew times and the left Achilles just started to ache every step. I pushed on to the top and struggled getting down. Bit of an error on my part. Could only see 20yards due to being in the clouds too. Walked the 3miles bk to hadfield from the bottom. Lucky I took all my gear in the bumbag.
On the other hand the route up there is fairly entertaining, If you fall off the edge it wouldnt be fun.Really steep up from the farm for the 1st half mile but then it's nice. A varied mix of terrains too. Few pics Attachment 6622

That's excellent sebp, I'll look forward to that and hope for some slightly better weather than we're getting at the mo. hope the injury clears up ok, treat it with kid gloves as Achilles injuries can be a real pain in the arse to sort.

Managed to get out and do route 33 from the Peak Trail Runner website on Boxing Day afternoon. Weather would have been better in the morning, but I had taxi duties to perform. Quite surprised not to come across any other runners given the number of people about.

Does anyone know wether it is " Dogs must be under control", or " Dogs must be on leads " around the Edale and Castleton hills? I can't tell what the sign says on Google maps.

Thanks
Richy

On leads most of the signs I see say. Alot of farm animals that way too.
