Sorry - it's my wicked sense of humour. I had considered an alternative training run - the "Edale Not Much of a Skyline". You visit all the checkpoints on the real race, but you have to visit the valley in between every one :-)

For example:
Start - Ringing Roger - Edale YHA - boulder near top Jaggers Clough - bottom of Jaggers Clough - Win Hill - Hope - Lose Hill - River Noe - Mam Tor - Barber Booth - Ringing Roger - Dalehead - Brown Knoll - down Grain Clough - up Jacob's Ladder - round the edge then down Crowden Clough to Upper Booth - Grindslow Knoll - direct to RR and then finish.]

Some time I'll work out how far it is - and how much ascent!
