    Re: 15 Trigs

    Thanks for the replies.

    Ian, hoping to get to the Sportsman for about 11am tomorrow if you're available.

    Cheers, Mark

    This has just appeared on the Dark Peak Site

    Any Challengers? from the Sportsman at Redmires

    15 Trigs challenge
    Alan Yates writes: our classic '15 trigs' challenge is making the headlines (apparently) on the FRA and Tony Wimbush's 'gofar' sites. So this a reminder that a gallon of beer is still on offer to any DPFR member who can beat Andy Harmer's ancient (c. 1987) record of
    10h04m AND dip under 10 hours.


    That is a very tall order

    I'd be delighted to join you in an attempt IDP, but that sounds a very tall order.

    Andy, Ian, my M Map 1:25k shows an additional trig point at 'Stanedge Pole', between High Neb and Redmires resr. Is it a mistake?

    I'd like to do the route sometime, too (but not that fast ). Keep us posted

    Interesting - hadn't potted that one. Not a pillar: the pole itself has apparently been used as a triangulation station of some sort. These non-pillar trigs have mostly been expunged from 1:25k maps but they've missed this one.

    Does this mean that the 15 trigs are 16? (assuming the route goes that way)

    no it's not part of the route.

    I'm not sure about the next fact but the '15' trigs of the route are ALL the trigs marked on the 1984 KIMM map. It may be that on that Map the pole isn't listed as a trig as I'm sure it would be part otherwise.

    My round would still count though as I ran passed the pole on my way back to the Sportsman

    PS I got the map Yannis cheers.

    The route goes past it anyway.

    I'm thinking of doing this again later on in the year but will try to pick slightly better weather for it next time!

    Ian, if you could send me route details/hints for the 15 trigs (MM track/path) mainly for the east and west extremities, it will be great.
