Tanky's trog

GPS and this race? What's the score...will the organiser jump on them if used?

Definitely NOT in the spirit of the event and, personally, I don't think will help for a speedy crossing.
My view is, carry them for safety use if you get into bother but if you use one to navigate with you are asking for bother.
Came across a team on the Watershed between Wain and Hern Stones looking at a blank screen, batteries had died.
I've had the same with my compass many times, "batteries" went funny and pointed me in the wrong direction, how else would I have got to Greenfield Reservoir on Tankys Trog?????
That was when we used to go over Laddow (a bit less of an error, but only just)
Joined PFR headless chicken society after that.

I was out on Bleaklow yesterday but still uncertain of route. Am I right in thinking Torside Clough then path over Shelf Moss to Hern Stones PW to Hern Clough towards Grain in the water then south to the rain guage path. Or just leg it all the way along the PW to Alport Low & then drop down to the rain gauge path.
Is anyone reccing this section soon.

Thanks

Graham

Grouse has done this race enough times to do it with his eyes closed.

I did the Bleaklow & Kinder crossings yesterday - it were a bit misty.

Mind you, the short crossing over Kinder is like a motorway now. No chance of getting lost on that bit.
