Grindleford Gallop 2013

Maybe they'd gone the wrong way! But I dont see how :p

I mean - the Sylines advertised as 4500 ft (at least) :confused::confused:

Found this on an old thread from the forum;

Looks like there is some variance!!

I suspect that some people don't press the 'start' button properly at the start as it's lost up their sleeve / too complicated / they forget!:o

Any way, how do you know I've been in all day - need more coffee....:D

I've done this a couple of times. It's all runnable and there aren't really any 'proper' hills. There's the ascent to Eyam (about 400 feet), the ascent onto the moor (similar), the ascent from Bakewell towards Edensor (maybe 400) and the final ascent from Baslow onto Froggatt Edge which is maybe 600.

With undulations I'd say 2,500 max. More like 2,000.

It's a nice morning out with great soup and cheese butties at the finish.

This makes a lot more sense! With undulations probably abit more. Ill stick to instinct over techonolgy I think :D

Great cake too! A couple of years ago I waited around for some walking friends and they bought out this scrummy chocolate crispy cake :D

Doing the same this year so fingers crossed :D

Cheers Marty. If it does get a bit tough at any point then the promise of cheese butties and cake at the finish should see me through!:D

Good luck to everyone taking part!

this filled up ages ago
surely a few off here...?
I recced this a while back, loved the route and really looking forward to it...

P.S. I've contour-counted it as 2500ft ascent

P.P.S. FAO Brett - you might want to remove the 2010 date from the thread title (it's 10th March this year)

I'm doing it...

On the back of still being injured, having run bugger all in the last 4 weeks except the 15m Belvoir Challenge on Saturday (and i'm still limping now), being from Flat Fenland, being a soft Eastern jessy (I'm NOT a southerner!!) - hey, what could possibly go wrong?? LOL

Having said all that - I'm really looking forward to it!

It's a lovely event this; a fast course too. It's the only one of this type and distance (i.e. not a road race) where I've averaged more than 6mph. It's a shame it clashes with Wuthering Hike otherwise I'd be there.
NaturalBritain, it's a good one for your comeback. :)
