The race record of 2hr45 looks extremely safe.
I'm not optimistic that I'll be able to run. Been back to A&E this morning (after my fall on the Roaches), and told I'll not be running for 4-6 weeks.:( I'll probably make up my mind next week, but if I can't run, I'll be very willing to help with marshalling or with transport or both. If I'm not able to suffer in the race, at least that way I'll have a chance of seeing everyone else suffer:D
Incidently the avatar doesn't do justice to the bandage I've now got on my right leg from groin to toes! I'm beginning to look like a mummy.:D
If you fancy a long walk over the fells at some point give us a shoutQuote:

GPS and this race? What's the score...will the organiser jump on them if used?

Came across a team on the Watershed between Wain and Hern Stones looking at a blank screen, batteries had died.
I've had the same with my compass many times, "batteries" went funny and pointed me in the wrong direction, how else would I have got to Greenfield Reservoir on Tankys Trog?????:eek:
That was when we used to go over Laddow (a bit less of an error, but only just):o
Joined PFR headless chicken society after that. :D
you know me PB....Due south... I have enough with the old compass! :D
Thought you had sussed your route BB?:confused:
Oh Yes, that's sorted now...it was just an enquiry!!! Are you sorted?Quote:

Or just leg it all the way along the PW to Alport Low & then drop down to the rain gauge path.
Is anyone reccing this section soon.
Thanks
Graham
Sorted;).
I think...

Mind you, the short crossing over Kinder is like a motorway now. No chance of getting lost on that bit.
I don't use one EVER in UK - Scottish winters perhaps understandable! but anywhere else: Why?Quote:

Someone had dropped a bottle of 'Sheffield Hallam Uni' water on the track up to Gateside Clough. Can't understand why anyone was carrying water onto Kinder this weekend! (I picked up the bottle, of course!)Quote:

Route info
After crossing Black hill (Soldiers Lump) you must follow the Pennine Way approximately 150m to where the paving slabs finish by a small obvious cairn. From there you can take any route. This has been asked for by the Landowners to protect a newly seeded area which we would have had to cross. Rollick stones is still out of bounds.

Crowden SK073 992 12:30 hrs 13:00 hrs
Snake SK113 906 14:30 hrs 15:00 hrs

Looks like you managed a much better line back over from the Downfall than on our reccie last month. How did you get such a generous handicap - there must have been a price to pay!Quote:

Which pub, get me one in and I might even stretch to buying a round AND letting Brent continue to win the Winter HandicapQuote:
