Grin and Bear It - Nov 1

[IanDarkpeak]

MD, I can see a Route Description and GPS file here..
http://grinnbearit.org/routes/

But is there a OS-map somewhere too, for those Luddites without GPS?
Hoping for a pass-out nearer the date. Too soon as yet.

you could try the strava link of my run round last week. short section at start and finish missed out though

I'll be going past the door this weekend on the way to/from the Round Rotherham, otherwise I'd join you IDP.

Well I've sent my entry off. Unfortunately I put my entry into works external mail, so it's anybody's guess if it will actually arrive..........

OB1 …I will look to send you one over..

Thanks in advance - I am getting very close to securing that pass-out, and I learnt today that your OH had a special request that it be in our Club Champs, so that should give me extra leverage.

P.S. Now if I had a map by dawn I might recce it tomorrow - or at least some of it, accessing from Longdendale side (car park near tunnel, top of trail).

I have just read and mapped the route description (27 point list with grid refs) and the route is now clear in my head.
If I do recce tomorrow I will likely do a loop from Salters Brook Bridge, leaving out the start and finishing bridleway, so 20km-ish probably.
Most likely solo, given folk are off to the relays (my 'reserve' status not required). Anyway, need to be back by noon for work-prep for next week.
