It would help if you emailed me, contact details under the Kinder Trial Race Info @ http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~temples/hc/

Thanks Steve, straight on the case as ever!
And, thanks for announcing 3 Days in May too.
Beat me to it. I ran round the route this morning from New Mills (19 miles, since you ask, maybe a Sett Valley skyline?) and noticed that a) the path up from the Chunal Road crossing has been laid with gritstone hardcore on several key sections which make it more trog-able and b) the trod going up to Big Stone is now visible from Peep o'Day. I'm sure that it wasn'y so a few years ago.
thanks for that lads
That's about right. There's a checkpoint at the bottom (stream junction). This is usually a good spot for a drink, too, where the Sett tumbles over a mini-waterfall.The only bit i get stuck with is the bit from Edale cross to the Pennine bridleway near South head.I can't find a clear path. Do you just aim for the river in the clough and ascend up by the L shaped wall that was a checkpoint in this years Kinder trail?
It's worth noting that the Sett is the only reliable natural source of water on the whole race. The Kinder at the Downfall was bone-dry today and can dry after only 3-4 days without rain in the summer. There's a water table just before the Chunal road crossing.
Looks a good course.
Best not tell the grump about this thread
is this the same route as last year or is it a new new route?
