I understand that the rather strange DPFR Chairman will also be marshalling at his usual base of Lose Hill

Um, you better read this http://www.dpfr.org.uk/index.php?p=news&id=301

Skyline Jim, has the former Chair been exercising again thro' the long winter nights so as to develop his unfeasibly large right hand??

Less than two weeks to the big day and my next proper race, I hope every one has the route well reccied and the weather gods have got their dates mixed up so we have a snowy Easter but a sunny clear day on the Skyline.
Fingers crossed

I might be dragging along a spectator with me on 30th - where's the best place to plonk said spectator (with binoculars) for the best all race view? Is the village hall at the start okay?

The skyline is almost a reverse stadium in a way - if in and around Edale itself is a good place to watch from, presumably everyone disappears towards Win Hill and for most of the run from there to Mam Tor but what about after that?

looks like you might get your wish for a snowy easter Ian.Hope the weather holds out for you in the skyline.

Stolly re spectating...bit of a tricky one, if its cloudy/claggy you won't see much from the valley at all. Assuming the spectator is fairly mobile in my opinion the best and easiest way of getting a good 'flavour' of the race is to walk up to Ringing Roger before the start and watch everyone do the first climb and scramble. Then you can walk back down through the village and up onto the ridge at Hollins Cross to watch runners come over Lose Hill (binoculars), run past and then the climb up to Mam Tor. When bored there its then a walk back down to the village and up to the bottom of the Nab to watch the finish.
