Edale Skyline Fell Race

[IanDarkpeak]

Totally agree on that one... remember club champs Ian???

ahh yes I remember it well...

I used my map to keep me focused when I started getting a bit bored on Brown Knoll.
I also presume running with a map-in-hand is more comfortable to those of us who Orienteer a fair amount -

good point, I always struggle in the HPM esp the bit from Cut Throat Bridge to Abbey Brook, It's easy(honest) and local so don't need the map at all and I find keeping going quite hard. but the whole race becomes alot more fun from Abbey brook CP, I actually start concentrating because you need to navigate and the miles fly passed.

But Ba-Ba makes a brilliant point:

"I used my map to keep me focused when I started getting a bit bored on Brown Knoll."

Yes! I've vaguely considered doing this in the past. I get bored, my mind clears off to the pub. Ticking off features on the map would be a great help. One for next time I fancy.

just spotted on the dark peak site there were only 14 retirements, which for some reason has surprised me.

? too many or too little??
