You just need the 1:2500 OS Dark Peak. You can't use the Harvey's as i's chopped at the A624 which the Kinder Trog crosses at the end of Monks Road and at Peep'o'Day - everything to the west will be missing.

You basically steam off up Swallowhouse Lane to Sunnyside and then up to Lantern Pike summit, drop down and across the Lime Field, past Blackshaw and Matleymoor farms to Monks Road. At the end of this cross the A624 to pick up the well reinforced path over Burnt Hill and past the old Liberator to Mill Hill. From then on it's the Kinder Downfall route, except you drop down to the gate at the top of Jacobs Ladder before following the flagged path over past Brown Knoll to South Head. Then tracks take you down to Peep'o'Day and up past Whiterakes to Big Stone - then its over to the bridleway at New Allotments, and finish almost like the Crack Edge race except you keep going to return to the finish at Hayfield Scout Hut.

Mileage used to say 18m, now says 16m (which is more like) for same route.

Good race.
