Grimmer was also there.
The route used quite a bit of the Stanage Struggle but was very rough near the end.
How many are running? 20?:o Hope your not taking bets on that Ian.Quote:

Ian seems to have high hopes for me Jodg!!!
He's that sort of guy!
Just had a look at last years times,to get top 20 you would have to do somewhere near 2.06. This seems unlikely:o
As long as I'm in the top half I'm happy! :)
Me too.The longest ive raced is 8 miles so im in unknown territory with this one,regards to pacing,food? etc....
Start off steady and get some scoff down early and you'll be fine;)Quote:

Cor, not longer than 8? You'll enjoy this one then...my first "long" one was Roaches back in (I think) 2004. Suffered on account of it being warm and not having enough to drink. That's the main thing I think - plenty of fluids! :DQuote:

daz - mini mars bars sound like a great idea :)
I understand that there will be cut-offs imposed this year. The first is at Edale Cross after 2hrs and
the second at the track junction just before reaching the main road (A624) at Peep O' Day after 3hrs.
CUT OFF POINTS & TIMES
This year the organisers have decided to have cut off times at two points on the Trog course, this is to assist in maintaining effective cover by Kinder Mountain Rescue Team and to avoid Race Marshals being out on the course for an unreasonable amount of time.
The points and times are:
EDALE CROSS - 1pm
TRACK JUNCTION (Old Quarry Track, approaching Peep O' Day) - 2pm
Marked up maps will be on display at Race Registration clarifying this.
If you are timed out at these points you will be requested to take the shortest route back to Race Control/Registration back at the Scout Hut.
Have fun.... hopefully not in the full sun!
I get that a lot;):DQuote:

Can anybody tell me the easiest route in from Doncaster way?:o
No, they're having a weekend off, but they've done me proud the last few weeks so can't complain:cool: Will be providing a taxi service for two other forumites in the shape of Fleeter and Mrs Stagger. Stagger has given me lifts in the past and Fleeter can give me lifts in the future when he passes his test;)Quote:

Woodhead sounds best then,but im not to sure bout an XL vest!!!
Thanks Daz,Thanks Ian:D
