Kinder Trog

[GeoffB]

You basically steam off up Swallowhouse Lane to Sunnyside and then up to Lantern Pike summit, drop down and across the Lime Field

You must be local - I've only heard 1 or 2 others call it the 'Lime field'

except you drop down to the gate at the top of Jacobs Ladder before following the flagged path over past Brown Knoll to South Head.

This is the old route. After Kinder Low you head for Edale Cross, cross over the bridleway & head down into the bottom of the infant River Sett. (Beeline for South Head, virtually). Then a steep climb out of the valley back onto the old route. You don't have to go over South Head (although Lloyd did last year & still set a new record) - just skirt round it.

SteveT normally comes along around now & posts a map of the route. I seem to remember Phil W. & a few others last year drew a sketch map of the route on the back of their race numbers!
