Thanks for the replies.
Ian, hoping to get to the Sportsman for about 11am tomorrow if you're available.
Cheers, Mark

Any Challengers? from the Sportsman at Redmires
15 Trigs challenge
Alan Yates writes: our classic '15 trigs' challenge is making the headlines (apparently) on the FRA and Tony Wimbush's 'gofar' sites. So this a reminder that a gallon of beer is still on offer to any DPFR member who can beat Andy Harmer's ancient (c. 1987) record of
10h04m AND dip under 10 hours.
That is a very tall order
I'd be delighted to join you in an attempt IDP, but that sounds a very tall order.
Count me in too....been to all,
Some many many times....
But, not necessarily all on the same day...
Or in the right order...
Can almost touch a few from the doorstep!
Miss Muddy Paws Dad....
Not clever & often stupid..
Andy, Ian, my M Map 1:25k shows an additional trig point at 'Stanedge Pole', between High Neb and Redmires resr. Is it a mistake?
Yiannis
I'd like to do the route sometime, too (but not that fast ). Keep us posted
Interesting - hadn't potted that one. Not a pillar: the pole itself has apparently been used as a triangulation station of some sort. These non-pillar trigs have mostly been expunged from 1:25k maps but they've missed this one.Originally Posted by ydt

no it's not part of the route.
I'm not sure about the next fact but the '15' trigs of the route are ALL the trigs marked on the 1984 KIMM map. It may be that on that Map the pole isn't listed as a trig as I'm sure it would be part otherwise.
My round would still count though as I ran passed the pole on my way back to the Sportsman
PS I got the map Yannis cheers.
The route goes past it anyway.
I'm thinking of doing this again later on in the year but will try to pick slightly better weather for it next time!
