we started off right of the fence and hopped over it after a while, but must say looking over at a couple of others going up the path on the other side of the brook, they seemed to be making better progress than us - I thought it looked like more of a path, but maybe they were just fitter ...

Belatedly joined the Forum. Just like to add my thanks to everyone involved. Toughest race of the year - definitely be back next year. Next time I'll reccie WBC option and avoid TS - looking forward to saving all that time!!

That's right, but it's only higher up that the path on the left is better. It's where the old path from Rollick Stones comes in, I think.

Very true the raging torrent that was Wild boar that day felt uncomfortable close at times as I was scrambling through the heather and over the stones

Anyone got a route or map or checkpoints for this race as i was interested in how it got from marsden to edale but there seems precious little info when looking on the net. I would imagine the woodhead and snake might be crossed over at some point and kinder at the end but that's about it. Not planning anything just interested since it is quite renowned.

I'll take you on it this summer. We can go for a ramble one week, and trott it the next. PM me & I'll send you a route.

Lots on the Tanky race Thread

Hi Everyone:D

Its coming towards that time of year when I'm sure you heads (if not bodies) are looking towards the December horizon and the pre-festive endurance of THE TROG!

This year it is back in the hands of the Tanky Clan, if not the man himself, and I am trying my hardest to ensure that the new modern entry system is continued and up to scratch!

For some reason the race is not in the fixtures list (don't know why as it was sent in) so please pass on the information to anyone who asks and I will ensure that the word is spread on forums and the DP website.

I am in the process of updating the entry form and it will be available very soon however any interest can be registered by emailing [email protected] and I can send forms out on request.

If you wish to phone for any details please contact 01246 414853.

Regards

Clair

The race isn't in the 2010 FRA Calendar because I haven't received any details. Last years organiser, Andy Plummer, had informed me that organisation was reverting to Tanky's family for 2010 and therefore I had been expecting the new organiser to apply to me for a Permit and associated UKA insurance. I'm sure it can be sorted out!
