Edale Skyline Fell Race

[IanDarkpeak]

wow! ok here I go

IDP what time does kitcheck close? I know registration closes at 10.15. We were thinking of getting the first train out from Sheffield but it gets in at 9.52!
Many thanks

no speicific time but I would say around the time registration closes, I have some help who aren't running so they at least can continue on if needed but we would like to try and get the race off on time.

That's plenty of time - the train from Manchester gets in at 10:07!!

best get a shift on when you get there!

I may be showing my ignorance here (OK - I AM showing my ignorance here!) but technically what constitutes a base layer as far as the RO is concerned? Is it ANY long sleeved top regardless of thickness, thermal properties etc?

It's not normally an issue for me as I always tend to carry far too much in a race anyway but with the forecast as it is, assuming is stays the same, I am happy to carry a very lightweight top if I am allowed.

any thermal wicking long sleeve top will pass on Sunday...

I'm taking a Helly Hansen. I think what with the weather forecast, some of the kit requirement will be dropped on the day. Take everything and then re-pack your bumbag once the organisers give the go ahead to take lighter kit i.e. pertex and not waterproofs.

The last time I spoke to the RO he stated that there is no plan to drop any kit requirements as per the requirements on the race entry form listed earlier today and signed for when you entered.

are there any stipulations on the scale for the 'map of the full route' ?

Phew! it's been a long day you know... no stipulation but you must be able to navigate with it and give a grid ref off it so might I suggest that would be 1:50,000 minimum, sorry but you can't use this years skyline t-shirt

Does that mean I've got more time to finish before it gets dark?

Yes
