Can't do that weekend Daz :angry: it's the mother-in-law's 80th so down south for the weekend.
Have fun!

breezy/claggy on the tops today
WET was the main theme
amazed myself by getting round in 9:15

Fantastic effort DTS, looks like the enduro challengers were out in force yesterday obviously avoiding as much as possible valentines committments!

well done Daz

Glad to hear you conquered the dozen.

Thanks guys
it was actually Sunday I did it
I set off a bit later than I'd hoped, so was seriously struggling for light coming down off Ringing Roger at the end, but was determined to complete!
was thinking 9 hours, so quite pleased with 9:15 under the conditions
could deffo knock a chunk off on a better day...
I'd maybe go round anti-clockwise next time for a bit of variation...

Starting at Bowden Bridge makes a change too, and avoids any parking charges!

I got to Edale early enough to bag one of the free spaces next to the school up near the Nag's Head - no way was I going to pay the £6 (SIX QUID) charge on the main car-park :w00t:

re Bowden Bridge - the car-park there is £4 (I think) but there's plenty of room to park on the road isn't there?

Does anybody know if it's OK to park for free on the road near the car-park at any time of year (i.e. even on a weekend in summer)...?

Absolutely no problem parking on the road (Kinder Road) near Bowden Bridge at any time. I can't think why anyone would park in the car park. Sometimes it can get busy, but I've never had a problem.

Why not start from the snake side? all the parking is free and get the the big climbs out of the way early on. As Green flash said, I went out with Paul and got round in 8.50 (with a few mistakes), cannot describe how good the first pint of blond tasted afterwards!
