I always found the exterminator hard but I think that's because it's all runnable which was never my strong point! A fun race though due to all the route choices. Not quite sure how the course was measured to find the stated ascent figured though...Quote:

I agree entirely with this. :thumbup:Quote:

It contains instructions of how you can donate your partial refund to Edale MRT. If you choose to.

It's very easy to do and is the only way to do this as I can't process them individually
This years race will now be on Sunday 29th September. Entries will open on 31st July via www.sientries.co.uk
Partial refunds will be sorted by sientries (looks like this may already be being dealt with) and I will total up the donations to Edale mrt - it will be WELL over £1000
The refund will go back on to the card registered with them.
Is it a Champs race this time Ian?
Ian, I notice that you say entries open on the 31st, and the homepage says 1st of July. Am I correct that it is the latter, as that was your intention after the postponement of the original race.
Fair play to you for agreeing to the hard work of all the new organisation. Good luck.
Dark peak page says 31st.Quote:

I see it was announced on Friday on the FRA homepage that it is.Quote:

The Championship committee would like to thank Ian and Dark Peak for their exceptional efforts to stage the race and for their cooperation on it's inclusion in the Championship.
I am no doubt being stupid here but I thought entries opened today, what have I missed?
Yes it is a bit slow isn't it. Interestingly on Dark Peaks site this morning it says entries open today 'technology permitting'. May mean they are having some issues.
It's OK it is not only you being stupid. Steady Fast took his laptop to bed and got up early.Quote:

What's more, when I start to trundle across Brown Knoll I'll be asking myself why the hell I entered the thing in the first place!
...and so the hype starts again only this time we can discuss which factor sun cream to use and what brand of sunglasses are best for keeping the dust out of eyes. :D
If any one fancies coming along to help marshal it would be appreciated as some of the usual suspects are going to some cycle race in the dales...:confused:
Entries open. Not sure if it was a problem with my computer but the page had 'No' next to Edale Skyline and AL races which I couldn't alter. My entry therefore looks like I've never run anything! Be interetsed to know if anyone else comes up against this.
My entry is in now, me and laptop are going back to bed. Who's stupid now?!! It's still me isn't it?:oQuote:

I had this issue too - I paid the entry anyway. Not sure if this was the correct thing to do though!Quote:

Either that or they'll reject all the entries :w00t:
I speak with no authority whatsoever, however it may have remembered your info. if you'd entered 1st time round.
I'm in. The section to add your AL fell race experience seems to be working now.
Yes, that was the same for me. My AL list isn't that long but long enough.Quote:

If you go back into the entry, you can now edit to put in the required information :sneaky:
I understand that the organiser may have an agreement with Viagogo, Stub Hub and Get Me In?
not quite the scrabble this time but still up to 362 entries
I forgot all about the fact that Edale Skyline entries opened yesterday and just happened to be on SiEntries looking at future events and saw it there. Entry in and really looking forward to actually getting the chance to run it. Gives me a goal for September and I've certainly been putting in the miles/hills all year!
There'll be an extra one available soon.Quote:

Will have to do the Hope Moors race the week after instead
Been on holiday so missed when entries opened, doh! On the waiting list though, any idea how long this is?
The sientries site says there are only 18 on the waiting list so far, so should be pretty much guaranteed a place I would say.Quote:

Got to meet MikeT first to kit check this morning. well done that man.
A stunning day in Edale with Hester running brilliantly.
