Kinder Dozen

[GeoffB]

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.

Heck, that's a serious extra climb.

I meant to ask, did he do Mam Tor at the start, or did he get to the end and think "I've done enough yet, let's just add one more hill"?

neither...he stuck it in the middle after starting from Blackden clough....

'New' DPFR run: Kinder Baker's Dozen. Ken's original + Mam Tor out & back from Nag's - 27.5ml, 11,000ft climb. Inaugural time 9hrs 2mins, but that includes jog in from Blackden lay-by. Plenty to come off that for young fast legs in good weather. Knackered!

Off up Kinder shortly doing some of the dozen starting from Edale.
Weather forecast seems good so expect to see a good few runners out!

Say hello I'll be in my spiderman onesie

Did a few of the climbs from the Dozen today with foolonthehill, up to Kinder Low Trig, then headed back on ourselves.
Some really nice descents, had lots of fun!

Think I'll to have a go at this one. Was thinking of tomorrow, but given the state of the clag today, maybe save it for clear weather.
