Edale Skyline Fell Race

[grimmer]

Hi Greg

also No binbags and I want to see more than 4 polo's

I see you are leading the V40 dpk league this year. it can't be any wetter than Tankies last year.

Just checked the map for the 20th time this week and i might be persuaded to...

Come off it Ian, you only carry the map for the kitcheck, after that it'll stay in the bag!

It's vet 45s, and only cos I've done more races than everyone else...

Ian I think the shortest way is to stay left of the Woolpacks altogether but that is the easiest to go on a detour too. I think the easiest way, especially if boggy as it will be, is to stay right on a faint trod that avoids going through the Woolpacks, its slightly longer but easier running and in my opinion quicker.

Good look for Sunday peeps, enjoy yourselves and if you have a WAP enabled phone you can post your progress on the forum - I'll read with interest at work.

Am fairly new to fell-running so am excited and bricking it about Sunday ... Lord's Seat to Brown Knoll is giving me a bit of a headache (assuming i make Mam Nick) ... i recced the route on rock hard ground a month or so ago and ran the upper route but think the lower or easterly might be a better option given the rain etc ???? help!

[Stolly]

Well I'm going to give Swoop a call should I hit a navigational problem.

Having only been round the route once, I have only a very vague idea of what you lot are even talking about . My game plan is to try and stick on the shoulder of someone in a Dark Peak vest............... even if he goes for the down and up corner cut.

and that is the guaranteed way to get yourself lost

I ran the 'route' the other day and there's virtualy a trod/path the whole way through/round/over/under (Delete as Ness) the area.

The place to keep your eye on the map if the clag is down is Brown Knoll.

Any one decided on the Down and Up yet from GK to RR ,I'm going round

oooo....i am really tempted to go down and up ...but after a few hours of running.....

If the clag is down, you'll have to know the lines from Grindslow Knoll to RR quite well to use them to good effect. Down and up may be an option then - certainly a lot harder to go astray on...

Right now the sun is doing its best to melt the last few snow patches on Mam tor and the southern edges.

Sadly the chance of thick clag is looking less likely

Weather forcast is improving all the time
