I did the dozen today in a leisurely 8-1/2 hours. It wasn't leisurely for me as I was going flat out!

Re: Kinder Dozen

Yes, it's a fine day out. I'll go round anti-clockwise next time.

Yeah i reckon that will be a tougher route in it self. less runnable descents. I recce'd the 2nd half going anticlockwise.

Well, I quoted 5.45 for my time (aged 48!), but that was only approximate. It could have been 5.48 - who knows? I doubt if anyone keeps records, do they?

Re: Kinder Dozen

set off yesterday from Hayfield side with intention of doing full dozen
but deep heather/bilberry/bracken was a prob in a few areas, so ended up taking it a bit easier and having plenty of picnic-ing/sightseeing/rest stops - did 10 in the end - called it a day at Crowden Tower then jogged back via Woolpacks/EdaleCross/Tunstead
got a bit wet intermittently, but mostly a grand day out! :thumbup:

Re: Kinder Dozen

Had a run round this today.

Mist early on made navigation tricky. Sun came out though for a while which was lovely. Last 2.5 hours in the dark.

Tracklogs says I did near 30 miles and 12,400 of ascent.

A good hard day out.

Write up here.

Well Done richpips :thumbup: looks like you had an "interesting" time around Ringing Roger :w00t:

I did a cheeky half-dozen yesterday
found a much better line than I've ever managed before dropping from Kinderlow to Kinder River - stayed higher up early on then started dropping more steeply later - this seemed to get me much more grassy stuff than rocky/broken ground that I've been used to

Thanks. I doubt any of my lines were optimal in the clag, or when it was dark. Makes me want to get to know the bits I don't know better.

I was up top today on the Northern edge and could see lots of better lines to the ones I'd taken.

The Ringing Rodger/ Golden Clough craziness was my GPS playing up, and not me running aimlessly round the fells :)

The sky looks like it will be, not so sure about the conditions underfoot! Does anyone know how much snow has fallen up there?

Re: Kinder Dozen

I have just got back from a run on the trails around marple. Lovely evening but incredibly wet underfoot, my feet were frozen.

It could be like that tomorrow.

It was Ian! Hanno and I abandoned our plan as soon as we got to Kinder Low trig. The snow was knee deep and powdery very hard goin on the top of Kinder and around Fairbrook. We still had a great run though and visited a few checkpoints.

Re: Kinder Dozen

A few of us from Glossopdale went out and had a fantastic day in the sun on Sunday. A tad warm, but the springs were still flowing, so there were a good few places to re-fill the waterbottles, and dunk hot dogs.

A great day out, made all the better for the plateau team running around and meeting us in various places to cheer us on our way.

If you mean the plank that used to cross near the derelict builidings then that has been gone for long time.

I didn't attempt the full set, but I quite often do a few as training (5 yesterday)

Re: Kinder Dozen

Thats the one. I used to cross there years ago and run along the path to the base of fairbrook.

There may have been one there since my last trip past but not sure.

It (wooden footbridge) was there when Gloss did the KD back in May this year, and a few of us supported them on the plateau. See Zephr's post on one page above.
I know it was there since I ran back from Fairbrook Naze to my car at Snake Summit via the bridge, and then up the grouse butts (east bank of Upper Gate Clough) on the landy track over the Featherbed Top back to SS.

PS. I don't have a photo, but I dont see how a sturdy wooden bridge like that could have gottenwashed away in this year's weather!?
Funnily enough, I contemplated running that area this morning at 8.30am, but instead John4of5 and I voted for Bleaklow instead.

Re: Kinder Dozen

I was up there early this morning Daz. No sign of the small foot bridge but the path into the wood was closed due to timber felling the sign said.

Re: Kinder Dozen

Yep - that Footbridge disappeared sometime this year. Quite a sturdy one from memory.
We ran down from Mill Hill area down towards Fairbrook and I couldn't help noticing as we ran down just how much the path (trod) had been completely obliterated by rain washout.
Therefore, it wasn't that much of a surprise that when we got to the bridge, we saw it had gone.
Must have been pretty epic up there June / July time this year ?
