There is a race car park which will be signed from the middle of Edale village, I should know, I'm on car park marshalling!

If the parking is in the same place as last year, allow upto 10 minutes to walk back to the Village Hall for registration and kit check - take your bumbag/backpack/etc with you to register, get it checked then go and get yourself changed, or register 'ready to run'. Once your kit is checked, that's what you've got to take with you. The start is again a short distance away, in the field at the foot of Grindsbrook, so allow time for this also.

I was up there this morning and it felt like winter again, with 60mph gusts and the promise of a lot more rain before the weekend. Brown knoll sponge is fairly dry at the moment but i'm sure it'll fill up for Sunday...
