Edale Skyline Fell Race

I'm going to try and head up to Mam Nick on mountain bike tomorrow so will let folk know what it's looking like

Food for though on this thread! I've started http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showt...971#post532971 a new thread where it may be a better place to discuss the philosophical question - What is a fell race anyway?...

We will be at Edale tomorrow from midmorning and will be up on the course I will send out reports photos/video too probably via the @edaleskline twitter account, it would be good if anyone who has the know how could link that to here to a different audience...

Only worry is that we might not be able to actually get to the start.

shorts? are you crazy!

As Duncan Ballantyne famously announces "IM OUT!"(after much deliberation) Phew...Can have a glass of wine now and concentrate on the fantasy fell running league?
The last time I did it was 2007 (completed)and almost got blown away , starting to think the race is jinxed for me. Its just too extreme and I really want to see my kids graduate from uni some day...Think Ill do the Grisedale 10 instead-bit safer in the trees and a lot nearer....GOOD LUCK EVERYONE Guess im just not hard core enuf !x

Hi Ian... I've e-mailed IDP about putting something up on Planet Fear tomorrow and then tweeting/FB etc... if there's anything in particular you want saying, get him to let me know in his reply.

I would appreciate that Ian :thumbup: and anyone else close to the location who can provide info on the roads. I am more concerned with getting there at the moment but I will take any info on the course into consideration as well.

Will there be an extra whisky stop with all this snow?!
