to be fair the route to Crowden will be easy as long as Blackhill is clear. if not know the bearing off the top. Torside will be your route afterwards with no priory knowledge. there are variations but only if you know the route.Quote:

Me & a mate repared the stile just below wessenden head for those that like to take the direct route from wessenden head res to the a635 crossing. Black Hill isn't too bad as long as you get the bearing right just past Soldier's lump. The foot and mouth fence has now gone and the path to Crowden little brook has been well used this season so stands out quite a bit.
Keep going South :eek:Quote:

Bloody hell thats a baptism of fire. Big respect to anyone who does this in December. I dragged my sorry arse from the Holmfirth road over black hill and to edale. Bleaklow is awful dragging myself through those bogs.
20 miles done with detours for reccying. dont want to think about doing the whole thing

I followed your tracks off blackhill down to crowden little brook.
I'm going on a recce wednesday morning to look at a little variation to getting over bleaklow (not Rollick or Wildboar) if anyone is interested in coming along. I'm planning on looping back and doing the standard torside ascent to time the differences. (12.5 - 13 miles). Aiming to be at the torside car park opposite the sailing club for 9am.

If anybody needs a support driver / back up crew I'm yer man. The only proviso being I would prefer to drive from Edale to Marsden 1st thing, before the start of the adventure rather than once it's all over. Just send me a Pm.
If I'm not needed (:( ) I'll be at the Gravy pud.
