Yep, I'm in. Like all the best events once you've done one you're hooked! :)

can anyone give me an idea of how easy it would be to get the start of this race on public transport - and whether there's a YHA or something near the finish?

(local waterstones hasn't got the relevant OS map ...)

Where you coming from Zoot?

Carshare will be a better option.

I don't know about YH but there are B&Bs about.

the Huddersfield-Manchester rail line goes passed and the station is only 200m from registration but what trains will be about at that time I don't know.

If you don't fancy CS then get up there the night before, there's always someone(A N Formomite) to take your bag to the finish.

walking there the day befor fom Edale is an option and has been been done before. Plumbum once ran to the start through the night (Respect) from Edale to get there just in time for a bacon buttie before racing back

Edale Youth Hostel is a short stroll from the finish.

didn't read the orig post properly did I:rolleyes: I thought he meant in Marsden

Plenty of people will be going passed the Hostel and will give you a lift at the end.

thanks both of you

would be coming up from London - so best bet by sounds of it, is book into Edale YHA Fri night and get a lift to the start in the morning ... ?

Saturday night rather, race being on Sunday .....

one more Q - is there a good pub at Edale?

Keep an eye out on Sat night as Plumbum myself and Brent will be down at the village hall and in the pub for a quick one.
