I read somewhere that Noel has had trouble with permissions for this year so it may have to take a year off.
And a slightly dodgy strava plot. I visited all the checkpoints OK.

Yes, I'm afraid another Peak District race bites the dust. Noel is determined to get permissions sorted out so that next year's race will go ahead.Quote:

After all, we are also members of the public.
The answer to that is YES, because it is open-access land.Quote:
