My Race Map from last year's Skyline has got the heights of the contours marked on - they're imperial as the map is based on non-copyright (more than 50 year old) OS mapping, but I've just spotted that the height of Brown Knoll is marked as 2503ft on the Race Map - getting to the top of Brown Knoll would be even tougher if it was really that high, and it would be the highest point in Derbyshire. My old 1inch map of the Peak District says it's actually 1866ft!

I agree with Dom - the Race Maps are a useful guide, but not a substitute for an OS/Harvey's map.
