Are you able to deduce the Ladies' record for the current route from these results? Tanky never provided one for the FRA Calendar.Quote:

I wasn't aware there was a route as such, simply 2 checkpoints between Marsden and Edale and a couple of 'out of bounds' areas, Rollick Stones and the bit after Black Hill summit. I suppose some kind of optimum route has evolved over time which take a bit of the mystery away unless the clags down or you just go walk about.
Still a fantastic outing, would love it if Rollick Stones could be revived and avoid the trudge around the reservoir.
I think a few did avoid the trudge round the reser. ;)
The positioning of the check point directs you in a certain way.Quote:

Margaret - I will see if I can determine which year it changed. If I remember correctly there were a couple of changes. One taking in Rollik Stones and then back to Torside.
