I'll be doing it, Andy. Apparently the route is the same as last year. It's just over 33 miles. Fuel and hydrate well, and be prepared for a long day out.

Nice one Nick and a very well done with your 100, stunning stuff:thumbup:, we will be camping there the night before, I'll be taking plenty of provision's with me, that's for sure.
Andy
Can't not really with it being on the doorstep and most of the route visible from the house. Enjoyed it last year though it got a little warm, but the forecast shows we'll be starting in the rain and maybe getting some sun for the finish...
See you there tomorrow
Hi,
Is the event still on? There is a event suspended note on the web site that's all, the phone number just goes to answer machine at the moment.
Cheers
Andy.
Andy, got me worried then, bag all packed. There is nothing on thier facebook page, or the news section of the site nor have we had an email. I believe what you are seeing is the online entry has been suspended, not the actual event
Just hoping we miss the rain,
loved this route! Really enjoyed it - bit tough navigating at one point! But will be back next year!

Really scenic course, (except for the cement factory) Stanage Edge was greatso a great run out in all and super running weather:thumbup:.
Good to meet you again Nick
Andy
Having only decided to actually run it on Thursday after a prolonged illness, was pleased on the whole with my run. Knew most of the course so there was just a bit of joining the dots to do. Was holding steady in 6th until about 18 miles when I made a slight nav error and got passed by a rampant Mark Hartell and his chasing pack, that threw me a bit but I think I must have been nearing a blow up anyway as I never really got back on track until Stanage Edge (The climb out of Bamford felt terrible!), just chugged round the rest of it in good company.
Fantastic organisation, very friendly people both organisers and runners, and I'd highly recommend this one. Nice to meet Nick Ham / BritNick finally at the start too.
Also enjoyed this one a lot. Weather really did its best for us considering they got a fair bit north and east of us (OH text from Hull during and read when I got back, "hope you didn't get too wet..." haha). I had similarly timed blowups to you Simon, Bamford clough must be slow however strong your feeling. I got back on track as the hills relented a bit after the Stanagae climb.
Good to see you Andy, Simon and DE.
Simon, that was one impressive time considering you weren't at 100%. You must have long gone by the time I finished.
Andy, I missed you at the finish too. It would have been good to chat a bit more.
DE, good effort (though you did have 46 fewer legacy miles in your legs :wink
Mark Hartell has still got what it takes, despite describing himself as an old fart. He's a fit old fart, for sure.
It was great to see Jim Mann too for the first time since the Hardmoors 55. You ran a great time Jim (of course). :thumbup:
Weren't we lucky with the weather? No waterproofs needed when a few miles further north we would have been like drowned rats.
