I remember walking this 20 something years ago:eek:
I know one or two runners not doing this as they want to save their legs for the Edale Skyline.
I'll also be on for the Fellsman (race two of the series) If any forumite needs a lift to the start i'm going from J36 M1.
Ian
So what about the Calderdale and Manx races ?Quote:

Can't make Calderdale as I'm having a crack at Dark Peaks '15 Trigs' 55ish miles with at least 7000 ft climbing unsupported in a max time of 15 hours.
This is on my doorstep, well a bit of it is. It is an absolute classic of fell running and a must as a training run and a great day out. Tradition has it that there is no backup. Apparently the record is just over 10 hours (unless any one knows better)
If you want to know the details i can post them
Ian
Good luck on that .
Would be interested in the route
Hi Duracell
Details on the 15 trigs below as requested

Thanks Denzil - looks good. Not able to do the Wuthering Hike so this might just be the perfect substitute.Quote:

Might come and do it myself, since I can't make the Wuthering Hike this year.
Any body planning to do the Trollers trog the week before Wuthering, Not quite as far but good training for the longer stuff to come.
Just been looking at the two maps of the race route on the website. At first glance it doesn't look too hard to follow. But there are two sections off the maps! Anyone know which OS maps cover the route?

Mmmm! Route looked fairly simple on the 1:50000, but looks a little more complicated on the 1:25000. Is it easy to follow?
