Ian, Nicky mentioned after last yrs race that she would like to avoid the flags to Mill Hill, is there any news on that front?
Will be sending my entry in with a donation to mrt :)
Still in Scotland Ian....send me it in post
The route is up on the website....
Sending off entry tomorrow, all being well.
Is anyone thinking of organising a minibus from Edale to Marsden for the morning? Patrick - I noticed your name mentioned on website with regards to this. I'd offer to help organise one but, being realistic, I live too far away & don't know the area well enough (outside of the fells). However, I'm happy to pay upfront for any transport arranged :)
That's my entry form printed off ready to fill-in and post tonight.
I ran over the mid sections (Crowden-Snake and Snake-Grindslow Knoll) over the past month and its great to see the vegetation on and around the route well and truly re-covered over the spring & summer. It's like a meadow in places on Kinder (as some of you have commented on other threads). I will be off up there again in a few days time, trying to perfect that crossing.
Just have to remain fit and injury free overwinter, now.
Ya I ran done the Kinder Dozen section from Mermaid's pool to the Boxing Glove last night via Kinder West Trig and the grass was so high it was difficult to know what was underfoot. Amazing transformation!
Just back from Glen Nevis and home to find the first 30 entries for the Trigger 2015. List of names up shortly - the order of which doesn't infer your race number - that will be confirmed at sign in at race HQ!
Entry sent off this afternoon. Already keen to get a recce in towards the end of October.
As said earlier (yes, I know it's a long time off yet!), if anyone wants to liftshare from Edale to Marsden on race day then please get in touch. I'd be happy to do this for a recce too :)
A couple of yrs ago I got a National Express bus from Chortlon St in Manchester out to Crowden. I then ran to Edale and got the train back in to Manchester - great day out.
Right. Better find the cheque book. Think the last time I used it was for trigger last year.
ENTRIES TO DATE: FRIDAY SEPT 26TH - NOTE: THE LIST ORDER DOESN'T INFER YOUR RACE NUMBER ONLY THAT YOU HAVE AN ENTRY - NUMBERS CONFIRMED ON DAY. I WILL BE BANKING CHEQUES IN NEXT WEEK. ANY QUERIES?

Just seen this.
I was out on Friday morning with a clubmate, 13 mile dawn trot out from Chunal (Monks Road layby) via Mill Hill, Kinder West, Kinder Gates, dry crossing, to Grindslow Knoll, then back via Fairbrooke Naze and the northern edge. We didn't see another soul between 6am and 9am until we were dropping back down off Mill Hill to the car. It was great to be running up into the rising sun, and to have the sky full of dawn colours whilst we were up there.
PS - are you mixing me up with Mad-axeman Carl by any chance? Cos I don't live near Hayfield / Kinder.
;)
Keen to recce some of the route soon, probably between 19th & 26th October (work commitments & races ease off for a week). If anyone fancies joining me closer to the time, let me know.
Also, if anyone fancies a recce of the full route during this time then I might be up for working out a lift share to get between start & finish.
And guess what Ian, it will be the Friday Night before......
(Well that's what I've just written for next RC MS)..
So, maybe almost enough time to recover...
For a Good Blast in The Trigger too ;)
Hope to see you on both...
MEx2 that is...
+ Trigger x 1 :rolleyes:...
Obviously there will be a special award for completion & survival :)

Given my location, would be most keen to recce latter half of race from Edale & back.

Ahoy!
As we come off Black Hill are we still carrying on down to the marker, following the line to the style and avoiding the 'moss trial'; or can we take a more direct route from Soldiers Mound?
