I think they put the Stanage Edge and Burbage Bridge CP's off-path to minimise the chances of their being vandalised/interfered with, as they're both pretty busy areas
biggest tip I would give is to take it easy during the first half (til Hope) cos that's got all the main hills and if you "batter" it you'll seriously pay for it in the second half (voice of experience :w00t: )
This is a CRACKING event/route, and I'll be back this year to do a proper job of it :closed:
Seconded. I capitulated on Long Causeway having fairly smashed the first half, and spent the second half hanging on for dear life.

Jim, I'm a Sheffield lad (which is why I'm probably a bit more blase about the nav on this route, It's all in my training area) but have ordered gear from Pete Bland's site in the past. Its a fell running institution!
