I think PLumbum has some paper copies. and the Dark Peak site has some of the more recent times but may be not every one.

Tanky didn't store any digitally

Which year are you after Alan.

I've been doing it (off & on) since the mid 90's - it's the Tanky years really.

Why not have the CP at the small lay-by on the A57/Upper North Grain junction, cross the road to pick up path in the woods by Lady Clough, cross the Ashop and rejoin original path. Make the road out of bounds.

Any decision on moving the CP Ian DP?

If you didn't want to move the CP that far (and remove the option of going direct to the Birchen Clough car park) you could always put it just after the current checkpoint in the Woodlands Valley at the footbridge just S of the Snake Inn. But Yiannis's suggestion sounds great to me.
