High Peak Marathon

[Axeman]

It's not the ascent though it's the descent into the bog that gets you.

I've been there LOL.
I wondered how it compared to the Fellsman in terms of Ascent as thast is my next event.

I'd say it was about double the HPM

It was a cracking HPM this year. We got round in 11.36 which we were well chuffed with given the conditions and getting lost between Outer Edge and Swains! We were 'The Pussy Cat Dudes' so the guys running round with tails on!

I'm part of the High Peak Club who organize the checkpoints. This year we decided to run a bit of a competition between the checkpoints, encouraging them to decorate their checkpoints and wear fancy dress. Did you like this idea and would you like to see it done next year?

not sure if any one saw the team out there, I think I spotted them off to the North of Howden edge hr Hoar stones but..

Wondered what happened, you were just near us around there and then suddenly you disappeared..

The cheeriness of the marshal's and general effort made is great, no doubt they get very little appreciation at the time..but it is..the ones around derwent and bleaklow must catch us at our worst, by the time we're heading back around edale skyline we're generally much chirpier..

great event as always, the stew at the end keeps me going.

There's a good balance between entertaining atmosphere yet serious when it matters to facilitate a safe event. Can't suggest any improvements, just leave as if possible...

[Grouse]

Yup. It ain't broke!

I think I spotted them as we were coming out of sheepfold clough, on the hills south west of sheepfold clough, either that or a team was very lost.

[Stanners]

We spotted them at the first feed station. was it Moscar. you guys seemed very upbeat.

We saw you guys coming off Lose Hill then again much further on but I can't remember where, glad you enjoyed it. The checkpoints were brilliant, they really cheered us up.

Has anyone seen the results yet please?
