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.

You'll have to be sharpish to catch Lloyd, Rob, Si if your friend is a walker.

If you do get up to HC or MNick you could walk the route to J ladder and then drop down back to the start.
