had my eyes on a 3hr 15 time and was on course until i decided to jump off the end of grindslow ignoring earlier advice from messers briggs and howie .
but it had to be done
i wouldnt recommend it though , i reckon i lost a few minutes and the climb is horrendous, but i managed to hit the checkpoint bang on, i felt on top of the world when alan yates said hats off to ya young lad for trying that as i scrambled up towards him.
a great day out and thanks to all who helped out
sight of the day must have been ian dark peaks mudclaws
OMG i cant describe them, ha ha
i stashed some liquid en route which certainly helped.
good turn out from the pennine runners.

great weather, nice to see you again dom , hope you recover soon.
again noticeable how quickly briggs hit the flapjack

just taking the dog for a quick 2 miles
