I had another plod around this classic route yesterday (Sunday), but starting from Bowden Bridge, Hayfield rather than Edale. It took somewhat longer than last time (7 hours yesterday, 5:45 last time). I'm not sure why, could be that I'm 7 years older now, maybe because I'd raced hard on Saturday, possibly because I only have one functioning ankle these days? It was only when I was about 3/4 round that it occurred to me that starting from Bowden Bridge (and going straight up to Kinder Low) made the route considerably longer with a much bigger climb to Kinder Low. Ho hum.
Good day out though.
