Edale Skyline Fell Race

[bigfella]

6 of us went round the bulk of the route starting from Hope, don't know if anyone was wearing walshes though. It was a fantastic day, great to be able to see something of the route for a change.

[second to last]

Mrs STL did the second half Sunday but was wearing mudclaws. Simgreen, you must have been one of the people I asked about seeing a woman runner out there. I was expecting her to do the second half in about 2hrs, but she managed to slip in a couple of interesting detours which slowed her down. I think she has those bits sorted for the main day now.

Aye, that was me and SBRT. Nice to meet you. With conditions as good as those were it was a perfect day for interesting detours - I could have spent all day up there!

Yep it was a beautiful day to be out there.
Nice to meet you STL.
Thanks for the run Simgreen.

Dear All.
Sorry if these questions have been asked before.
1) Which is the best route over Win Hill? Stick to the main track or the little trod which runs parallel to it?
2) The best route off Lose Hill?

1)very little in it. it's early in the race. go the opposite way to every one else for some peace! better running on top, rougher and marginally shorter below.

2) there's more than one? down to fence corner over this and down to path through the woods. if you want to go over back tor I guess you could?

Tim, if you can, try and get hold of a copy of the LakesRunner map of the course. It tallies exactly with Ian's advice, and is much clearer than the OS version.

Ian, is that the map that Nobthrob produced?

Or,

Had a look on their web site. But its not listed.
The only part I need to get clear is how to get down into the trees from the top of Lose Hill. Having a final recce on sunday, so should be fine.

Don't worry about Lose Hill Tim, last year it was pretty much marked as there was a marshall with a ladder as a makeshift stile.

The line isn't obvious outside of race day, but it's easy on the day.
