Hi All,
If there is anybody that will not be running from Dark Peak, i would be willing to take your place, i think we can transfer within a club on this one?

Bizarrely looking forward to this one! More so for Kirsten, who's going to have to run well to meet the cut-off, though she is well capable of doing so. Did a recce last Sunday and I don't fancy those frozen conditions on the day...it felt like 19 miles of tarmac running!
Had a look at the down and up....hmmm, depends on my training between now and then. The down is not my sort of descent, rough and tussocky (unless someone's going to tell me there's a better line - basically came down on the left hand edge of the trees), but the up is fine, if a little daunting after that distance! But boy, oh boy, is it ever a long way back and around the top!
Reccied the whole route on Saturday in quite poor conditions - for fun, as am not in. Won't be any records broken if it's like that on the day. (Apart from number of no-shows.)
I am going to have a run around the second half Friday morning if anybody is interested
Anyone doing a recce this coming weekend 5th or 6th March?
Myself and a friend are doing a recce on Sunday, just the first half, but it will be fairly slow, as I expect to be near the back of the pack come race day, as I haven't managed to get any sensible mileage in. For fairly slow make that exceedingly slow.
Will probably be at Edale about 9:00, send a PM if you're interested to arrange.
