High Peak 40

[Jolly Beggar]

any one taking part on saturday, this is my first venture over this distance

[Strider1]

Yup, I'll be there.... looking forward to it. Recce'd the route over the Bank Holiday weekend and it's a classic... Most of the best bits of the Peak District wrapped up in one tiny package ;-)

I plan to be there also. Another jaunt around the Peak, let's hope for a cool clear day.

Forecast at the moment is for sunny, around 17 degrees and a v. light NE wind - pretty good, I'd say!

I'm doing it. Just done my last run beforehand and recce'd the new Cadster Farm diversion.

[Jolly Beggar]

what do you think of that section

[Marvin]

So who is running this one tomorrow? I'll be the one sipping tea and offering words of encouragement as you walk up the gentle incline of Milton Lane from Tunstead Milton.

I hear the entries are up on last year - around 200 this time.

Have just put in my entry... has anyone got a detailed route map or GPS plot so I can do some recces?

Hi Nik,

This gives you a very rough idea - http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/temples-bin/...f=high-peak-40 - it's only the check-points, but I'm sure you could work out your route from there.

There might be some clues as to best lines etc in the race reports at www.runfurther.com too
