Went out with Grimmer today and ran the Bleaklow section. To say it was damp is a bit of an understatement. Very similar to the bad part of last years race.
Torside Res was overflowing and the clough was foaming mass of water. On the path above Torside there were so many streams pouring over the edge that the path was virtually underwater! On the way back up to Hern Clough the path was also underwater and was very difficult to cross due to the amount/speed of water.
Visibily was atrocious but we went there and back in about three hours checking a few of the options and bearings as we went.
Kit hanging up to dry at the moment, great fun.
Roll on the Big Day
I can't believe it was as wet as last year. I have very vivid memories of seeing fellow runners swept downstream by the torrent in Crowden Little Brook.Quote:

Yes I remember two runners swim across:eek: But the amount of water pouring off Bleaklow would put it pretty close.Quote:

I was talking to Andy the other night and we are already over 50 entries with about 6-8 entries a day coming through.
Looks like it will be a sell out so get that entry in quick.
If you do cancell and let us know there is a 50% refund( not sure if there is a closing date for this though.

What times are folk looking for???? Pb's etc??? Conditions etc being good to fair...
Sub 4 for me again would be brilliant. Sub 3.50 would be a miracle:DQuote:

The "problem" with the Rollick Stones route isn't of our doing.Quote:

I have not been in touch with him but may try for next year, I like the Rollick Stones route myself.
Just in conversation with Moors for the Future regarding their conservation areas on Bleaklow that may affect the route, so watch this space for any news.
If there are out of bounds areas (Bleaklow moors sections etc) will people be penalised for using these en route?? - which may mean marshalling near by...
Apart from Rollick Stones I'm not aware of any. You have to start up Torside Clough (Pennine Way) but once beyond the stile above the farm you can go where you please. This is the best part of the route for choices and the competitors are seen spread out all with their personal lines.Quote:

The idea is to go through check points, which way you do it between, as long as it does not upset the locals, is up to you.Quote:

Depends on exactly where the checkpoints are and any instructions about the route whether that makes any sense. It wouldn't have been a good idea last year as the checkpoint was at 072990, and we had to go anticlockwise round the reservoir I think.Quote:

Many thanks to Peak Bog Man for doing the all leg work and making it possible. It should make kit check/registration all the more pleasant. Only 200m from the start.
More details to follow but that should make us more popular with the natives...;)
Entry form is filled in - just need to write cheque and send off :eek:
Hooray...managed to get in the toilet last year, whilst it was wee-ing it down outsideQuote:
