It was me that brought it to the committee Neil. I think Derwent is best venue lots of steep options. but as you say parking an access for the numbers is the main problem

I hadn't realised it had been at Edale before, both times were before I was a club member.
Upper Derwent Valley would be superb.
Bring on leg 3 on Bleaklow...



....Please!

interesting list.
i've done all but 4.
maybe it would be good to try and get it other locations apart from the usual areas.
South Downs, Exmoor,Northumberland for instance

I'm not so familiar with the peak district having only gone to a few events there, mainly through junior FRA or Inters. I'm sure there are some good options.

I don't know if the clubs around the Howgills are looking at this an an option, but Sedbergh is a great venue if the facilities at the school can be used. I suppose we weer so close last year it might be too soon to go back.

Looking forward to the Scottish adventure. Had a great recce weekend when last there travelling up Friday to Kinross and camping.
Saturday reccied the long leg and Sunday we all did the Lomonds of Fife race which was a great day out.

Has a location been identified yet?

nothing sorted yet, just feelers at moment...I agree with Howgills being a superb area for the event..so much scope.

Sedbergh/Howgills.............There's no better place! I could help out with something small and menial.

There was a superb mud slide at the end of the legs last time it was in the Howgills, which caused a lost and found incident with a wedding ring

I particularly appreciate that Calder Valley is shown as a separate country, in parentheses, akin to Wales and Scotland.

My pleasure!

As I recall, driving along the access road felt like journeying to another country.
