Edale Skyline Fell Race

[Whale]

I recommend your map is water-proofed in some way. A piece of A3 will be a soggy mush in 2 mins if it's claggy. It's not a matter of passing the inspection, it's a matter of being able to use it.

Oh I've got a map case, I was just making sure it didn't have to be an os map or similar.

Thanks.

I'm afraid I'm going to be a non starter - have been suffering with lower back problems all week culminating in a 1st attempt to run this week lasting all of 3 mins. Was looking forward to it after missing out these last few years........hey ho

again just to clarify, as long as you can safely navigate around the Edale Skyline with it in all weather(road maps will not do!) and you could give me a full grid ref off it with your location then it will pass kit check

[IanDarkpeak]

Kitcheck will be outside to allow some space indoors, I'll try and have the Ale nearby if you want to pick it up Pre race.

It gets quite hectic so don't be late.

Yes, sorry I'm not being very clear. I've printed off a section of OS map which I'll be putting in the map case! So it'll be fine.

I've just printed out my map and marked on the checkpoints.
Really looking forward to my first Edale Skyline:w00t:

Having made use of one of Neil's maps I would strongly recommend them. Bargain. Very clear and comprehensive, and I still laugh whenever I read the 'Energy and balls' comment on the Skyline map!
