Tanky's trog

[MargC]

I have copies of results since 1990. I will copy 2003 for you and put it in your pidgeon hole at HQ.

Are you able to deduce the Ladies' record for the current route from these results? Tanky never provided one for the FRA Calendar.

In 1990 and 1991 I know the race went over Laddow Rocks. By 1995 it had changed to the present route over Black Hill. Do you know whether it changed in 92, 93, 94 or 95?

I wasn't aware there was a route as such, simply 2 checkpoints between Marsden and Edale and a couple of 'out of bounds' areas, Rollick Stones and the bit after Black Hill summit. I suppose some kind of optimum route has evolved over time which take a bit of the mystery away unless the clags down or you just go walk about.

Still a fantastic outing, would love it if Rollick Stones could be revived and avoid the trudge around the reservoir.

I think a few did avoid the trudge round the reser.

The positioning of the check point directs you in a certain way.
When the route was over Laddow the check point was at the stile on the Pennine Way above the Outdoor centre.
We used to bear right directly after the checkpoint and cut diagonally across very rough ground to cross the road at the farm above Torside Dam wall.

Margaret - I will see if I can determine which year it changed. If I remember correctly there were a couple of changes. One taking in Rollik Stones and then back to Torside.
