    Kinder Killer - Fri. 15th May

    concentrating mainly on the "drops" furthest away from Hayfield (Grindsbrook, Lady Booth, Jaggers, Crookstone and Blackden - maybe substitute Fair Brook for Grindsbrook...)
    I certainly won't manage the whole thing though!

    Just me atm, but all welcome...

    Where were you thinking of setting off from Daz. Was planning on a long hilly trip on Thurs/Fri myself

    probably going to start/finish in Edale, although Snake Inn is a possibility...

    I could well be up for this if you don't mind me tagging along.

    Layby just beyond Snake inn (sheffield side) is better for me plus easier/cheaper parking 8.30 ish?

    Don't see a problem if Nik wants to come?

    no problemo - more the merrier
    main factor for others will probably be putting up with my "steady" pace

    Sounds like a plan!

    Fair Brook looks an obvious first ascent,
    then (since I'm NOT attempting the whole thing!) I guess we'll be crossing The Plateau Itself to the Edale side, and picking up the KK route at Druid's Stone?
    (maybe throw in a cheeky "bonus" drop down Grindsbrook and back up Golden Clough or Ollerbrook Clough?)

    8.30 it is at the SI layby.

    How long did you want to be out? I'll take you on a guided tour if you like. 5+ climbs of the plateaux? picking the best bits of course slow and long suits me.

    Re: Kinder Killer - Fri. 15th

    Hi Ian

    I mainly want to use my day off work to do the eastern end stuff (LadyBooth-Jaggers-Crookstone-Blackden) cos I can do the western stuff on regular weekend training runs from Hayfield.

    Other than that, I'm open to offers

    I was originally going to start/finish at Edale - maybe start with an ascent of Grindslow (from Broadlee) and finish at the top of Blackden with a shorter plateau-crossing back

    I reckon SnakeInn-FairBrook-(Grindsbrook-Golden/Ollerbrook)-DruidsStone-LadyBooth-Jaggers-Crookstone-Blackden-GateSide-SI is about 15M and should keep me out for about 5 hours, which should be about right for me atm

    Snake Inn at 0830 on Friday 15th sounds good to me... slow pace is good as I''m trying to do as much training with a pack on at the moment to strengthen me up for www.rockandiceultra.com next year. If it's not too hot and no-ones got any objections I'll bring the hound... he's pretty nimble on the rocks and happily trotted up Crowden Clough last weekend.

    pooch is fine by me - last BG recce I did, Dave The Dog coped better with the hills/snow than I did!

    I want to get some hills in as training for Cader Idris at the end of the month,

    and distance in cos I have a beady eye on either Dovedale Dipper or Long Tour Of Bradwell at the beginning of August...

    in between, I'm expecting to slaughter my time from last year at Kinder Trog
