Edale Skyline Fell Race

[Joe]

Why all this debate about whether to take the direct route or not? Get out there and try out both to see which is the quickest.

I've been to Edale 8 times this year so far - think I've become a bit adicted. There's a heck of a lot of route choice on this race to try out, but mostly I've just got to quite enjoy running there!

It's a bit late for a reccie now so it will be a gamble.

I went out again last night - left work early and finished in the dark.
I'm still wondering about doing Jacob's Ladder - Grindslow direct. I know it's 650 feet more ascent more, but it's more runable. Honest.
