Edale Skyline Fell Race

[ZootHornRollo]

Hoping to do this race this coming year, never been in the dark peaks before and looking for a decent route description and/or map so I can recce it. No map via Pete Bland and none I can fine at Race Maps either, any suggestions gratefully received, cheers, Mark

The race map is normally unavailable until about three days before the race: one of those charming quirks of the fellrunning world...
If you draw a blank elsewhere, PM me your address, I'm happy to send you a colour photocopy of mine (quality should be OK, we have a fancy machine at work).

Be careful Zoot the RaceMap ones are copywrited, some one has offered before but remember this is how Neil makes a living.

OK, hadn't quite appreciated that. He'd make a better living if he made them available longer than the day before the race though. Not rocket science.

What's wrong with OL map, grid ref's and a high light pen?

or

Go and recce the route and add the adjustments to the map.

or

If not just take the OL map in bumbag and do what the other 400 do. FOLLOW THE FRONT RUNNERS

Really there is no need to email or phone me to ask (LOTS of people are doing this ATM) entries will be open in a couple of weeks. It will be well publicised, I am thinking of a web stream for the grand opening press conference! (not really!)

When entries do open it will be the worst kept secret in fell running history...

I'm just finalising the entry form, and information/requirements - especially after reading the scary 'DQ the cheats' thread a few months ago
