yes entry limit is 200 so you should get in. I reckon it could be full in three to four weeks so if you're not entered by then it could be full.Quote:

Getting between 3 and 8 entries per day and I bags number 100. So, taking an average you have 22 days to get your entry in.
Anyone interested a couple of us are onto Bleaklow from Torside carpark Sunday morning about 09:00 hrs

Are you trying GeOFfB's route? I think that would be a capital idea:rolleyes:Quote:

Good option Ian, better than coming back down Torside and running back on the Longdendale.
Change - heading out from Torside car park instead of Crowden...time still the same...Quote:

From Marsden, follow the Pennine Way over Wessenden Head Moor to Black Hill, then to Crowden (1st checkpoint) still on the PW. Across Torside Reservoir to Bleaklow Head and on to the Snake Pass to the Snake Inn (2nd checkpoint). To Woodlands Valley and over Blackden Moor to Golden Clough.
Where in Marsden does the race start from please?
Thanks
Linda

Yes the route pretty much goes as you have said up to Blackhill but if you stay on PW from there you will do more distance and climbing. if you don't wonder off the best trod and many do head down in to Crowden little Brook SE 07474 02338 ( worth having some one big with you if it's been raining lots) and follow track down to Crowden. Round Res up Torside clough but from there take your pick of about 4-5 possible routes;) most go via Hern stones and Hern clough until they can pick up PW but aim to come out by Lady Clough SK 10042 92972 (clue use Rain guage path)
Cross Kinder via gate side clough (very hard with tired legs) and over crossing.
Any thing else;)
Thank you Mr IanDarkpeak, you've been extremly helpful.
Just need to get out and do some recce's now.

Mrs Stagger, try the above link to map my run.
It is not the only route over Bleaklow but it will give you a good idea.
Hopefully it will work, but I can be a bit of a dinosaur with technology.:eek:
Ton up.:D
We are half way there people.

hi linda
haven't seen you since fairfield (scene of my tragic ankle spraining) - if you see my head sticking out of a bog you can wave at me! i am doing this sticking together with some friends (i reckon if its claggy enough to come to pacing on the bleaklow plateau it will be good to have some moral support - and to get pulled out of bogs of course!)
jo

Hi Jo
Glad you're fit and well again. Have you done this race before? I'm going to start reccying it in small sections so I can cover it all and hopefully try and get some good lines.
I'm free during the week if you want to meet and reccy some of it.
Good luck and hopefully see you soon.
Linda
not done before!
i'm limited to wk end reccying
did snake to nearly crowden and back the other week , hoping to do marsden to crowden this wk end.
all this plateau is a navigational education!
Hi Ratfink, just a suggestion for if your time is limited, Marsden to Wessenden Head is on a broad track and there will be plenty of people about so not totally necessary to recce it, unless you have the time.Quote:

Wessenden Valley, Snake Road and Grindsbrook are straight forward.
Just been over the crossing on Kinder this morning, thick fog and sludgy bog perfect. Then took a trip out to the downfall and back via Fairbrook.
Not a bit of clag at all on Bleaklow's northern edges. A grand morning out, mi little dogs fast asleep now.:DQuote:

If you mean the little pull in on the right bend over Woodhead Res dam, Yes.Quote:

Just me, mi dog and mi thoughts.
Didn't go far, up onto Lawrence Edge, across to the bend at the top of Wildboar and back down to the visitors centre on the off chance the Peak Park Warden was in to have a chat re Tanky's route permissions.
..Thought I saw your wagon...hope it was a good morn'...bit claggy but moving tho';)
If I had got as high as Bleaklow Head it would have been claggy, where i got to, perfectly clear.Quote:
