Forgot to mention I picked up a red glove in Hern Clough and handed it to the marshals a Snake summit.

Found that really hard going, Not sure what I expected but found it tough to say the least. Thankfully with a team who knew the route well so the only thing to worr about was keeping going.

Weather worse than expected.

Well.......... that was a peat fest and no mistake. Our team finished on a disappointing 13:10 as one of our team members wasn't quite honed to HPM perfection . We also went on a two mile detour in the zero visibilty overnight and then trusted IanDarkPeak (whose team we bumped into) to take us through the famed 'north west passage' off of Bleaklow... which he did but just not in any way that could adequately be called a short cut

The terrain just has to be the toughest there is; its not about climbs but just mounds and mounds and mounds and mounds and mounds of peat!

Iain you went like a train - it was great to have you on the team.

Saw a lot through at Snake summit, one or two obvious face plants.
Weather over night was claggy making navigation "exciting". Heavy underfoot conditions tough.
Well done to all.
