    Re: High Peak Marathon Marchis

    Thought I'd better start plotting the route

    Is the Derwent Moor control (202880) really below the broad ridge, rather than on the ridge itself? Or is the grid ref wrong? Or more worryingly, can I no longer plot a grid ref properly?

    Other than that, it all looks quite straightforward. Ahem.

    Well my team didn't get in but if we don't get a late entry then I'll head up and camp some where on route and make fun of you all whilst I cook bacon sandwiches

    After years of trying, SPOOK 2007 finally made it on the list! Maybe it was the teamname change from "monoboob and an arm" that did it?

    We have 5 people wanting 4 places though so someone is gonna have to get injured/locked in a cupboard come March. The bookies have slashed the odds that I'm the fall guy :S

    It is on the ridge, at the path junction.
    What may not be where specified is the CP "below High Neb".

    Can I join you IDP? In fact I could even camp somewhere else and cook up bacon sandwiches (for me that is).

    Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team team hasn't got in (Phew).
    Think rest of team are disapointed. One or two of us will be out on route to give some encouragment to all, and take some photographs.
    Good luck to all that are in, hope the weather is something like last Sunday.
    Last night around Penistone it was clear and bright with a 3/4 (ish) moon.

    Re: High Peak Marathon Marchis

    A lot of races are filling up very early. Is there a groundswell of people doing this type of event as a challenge ? I feel there must be

    Of course you can Andy, any preference on an area to camp?
