Saddleworth are running the traditional Chew Valley Skyline race this year, as opposed to the O style event that we have done in recent years.
This is a one off, we'll be back to the O event next year.
13 miles, 2,000 feet of ascent over the Chew valley's rough and exposed moorland. Sunday 7th March.
Entries are limited to 250

Are you saying this has changed?

Route

Start near Dovestone Sailing Club (013133)

Perimeter path around Dovestone Reservoir

Flagged section at Binn Green to road crossing at 017045

then checkpoints at,

Alderman Summit 015045

Broadstone Hill trig point 021069

Shooting Butt 100m north of milestone 034061

Ashway Stone 031042

Featherbed Moss trig point 046011

Alphin Pike trig point 003028

Gate at 000033

Then flagged section along path through the plantation to the finish in the field near Intake Farm

I went round it a few weeks ago with the intention of doing the race,then realised what an awful route it is

I would be up for checking the course out as well.
