just about managed to keep emmi and mrs stagger in sight on a recce from marsden to crowden and back. they kindly did a lot of waiting and provided extra water and encouragement. that's the longest run i've been on in a while - worth leaving the house at ten to 7 for.....i think.

no, not any recce'ers! there were a few runners at soldiers lump, but they weren't going any further - think they were on a club run but i don't know what club.
About 8 miles from home up to Ringinglow then to Hathersage road, up Houndkirk hill etc. Tried to overtake a landrover on Houndkirk road as last week but this one pulled over and stopped to let me pass which is not really playing the game.
14 miles from Edale up past Ringing Roger to the top of Golden Clough, directly across the plateau to the path on the Northern edge, turned left and followed the path along the edge of the plateau past Blackden Brook to the top of Gateside Clough.
Down Gateside then back up Fairbrook, cutting across the heather to the track to Fairbrook Naze. Up the nose and along the path at the top of Ashop Edge to the far NW corner of the plateau. Back along the Pennine way, past the downfall to Kinder Low. East to Noe Stool past the pagoda and Woolpacks to summit of Grindslow Knoll, then down to Grindsbrook Booth and back to Edale.
A few groups recce'ing Tanky's and loads of runners out today, more than I've ever seen outside of a race.
Great weather, great running, great day out.:)

The next time You are going up that way give a me a PM, there are lots of wrecks there abouts. 2 more apprx 1 mile west of the fortress. another on sykes moor just north of the PW above torside.Quote:

Surely that is what fell running is all about?
Sounds great! I've just remembered what you were doing tonight :cool:Quote:
