I did it in 97 I think it was. Set of from Edale at 1:00am which left enough time for a bacon buttie and a cup of tea before starting back with the race.
Early training, mental and physical, for the BG.
Certainly an interesting idea - if one was to turn around and hoof it back to Marsden after the trigger race it would make sense to add a few more trigs in and go back via a different route, creating a bigger circular unofficial 'trigger'. Kinder East trig, Margery Hill trig, Outer Edge, Dead Edge end 124017, Black Hill and back to Marsden perhaps.
A big undertaking, especially if knackered after the Trigger race.
That is some strenuous BG training!
I know someone is planning a double on this....
