    Ta
    Yes, follow Valley Rd to the camp site. Fork right just before the camp site field and the start is 50m on.

    It's a bit less than a mile from the Scout Hut so allow 15 mins walking or a bit under 10 jogging.

    Cheers...

    probably - there are one or two very steep rough (tussocky) slopes... even if the ground is firm it will be skiddy on top

    Agree with this!

    I underestimated the distance last year and started 5 mins after everyone else.

    At least I wasn't worrying about people standing on my head up Elle Bank!

    Not quite "race related"(!) - where's good for lunch in/around Hayfield? Will have missus + young nippers in tow tomorrow. "Kinder Lodge" any good?

    The Waltzing Weasel on the road towards Birch Vale/ New Mills was nice last time I went in there.

    The Sportsmans Inn on Kinder Road (about 400 yds from finish - Grid SK044 868) is by far and away the best pub in Hayfield. Good food, Good Ale, Kids & Animals welcome & NO Riff Raff.

    A few more to follow, but here's what I've got so far.

    Clicky for the rest of them.

    For those who want prints I'll upload these and the rest from 3 days in May to my website qwertyphoto.com on Monday.

    Cheers Rich

    That was one tough fell race
    That last climb up Mount Famine was a calf buster, once at the top and over the stile my legs didn't want to run, I had no feeling left in them
