    13 dark peakers went over Kinder from Blackden to the bottom of Golden Clough and direct up to Ringing Roger. Why would any one do that after 19 miles of racing????

    Back via the trig.

    Our beer was excellent in the Ladybower

    Just under 2 hours, 5 miles, 2000ft and that nasty climb up to Ringing Roger!
    A great evening with friendly folk, and good conversation in the Ladybower Inn afterwards.

    Sounds good. Not sure whether I'm more jealous of the beer or the run

    Great run tonight under a clear and starry sky! 10 Dark Peakers and the faint glow of IDP in the distance on one of his legendary night nav courses.
    Starting from the A628 we headed along to Lady Cross then to the cairn around Round Hill. From there over to Barrow Stones via Barrow Clough. Bearings were taken but the moonlight guided us fine.
    To a sheepfold (large enough for 3 sheep) (and it wasn't on my map..) at Swains Greave and some giant groughs to Swains head. Ac couple of white hares escaped the studs.
    We handrailed Far Small Clough to the Trans Pennine Trail back to the road.
    Refreshments were then consumed in the Dog and Partridge.
    The End.

    we could see you descending from Barrow Stones, I thought Andy might take you to the sheep fold, great place but as you say not on the os maps but it is on the Harvey/bmc maps

    4 hours for us at a much slower pace
