Plenty of food and drink at the checkpoints (none at Edale Cross). Apparently there are hot dogs somewhere near Brand Top...

So you won't starve but maybe take a few favourites for in between bits.

cheers kenndre , i always carry something to nibble on and like the sound of hotdogs is the parking far from start and how long a walk is it

The checkpoint food is great! Fruit salad in rice pudding, oranges, soup, hot dogs, golden syrup cake, jam doughnuts, crisps - have to say the penguin biscuits made me heave last year and I have not eaten them since! I carried a large bottle which I kept refilling with water at each checkpoint. You have to take your own cup with you if you want a cup of tea/soup if I recall - I bought a collapsible cup which was very handy.

There is parking near the start however it feels like miles away when you have to walk back to the car after the finish!

thanks sarah sounds we'll be well fed then and im sure it'll be a long walk back to car alright :thumbup:

I'm not sure there's any "official" parking, but plenty of local residential roads (obviously need to park considerately)

mmm... rice pudding/fruit salad at Edale, and doughnuts at Chelmorton are my faves

Best of luck everyone, have a great weekend.

Daz - take it steady and pace it well and you should achieve your 13:30 goal. Most importantly, enjoy yourself!

Thanks Linda!

I will definitely enjoy it - the route/organisation/people/atmosphere are too good to allow anything else :thumbup:

off home to finish packing now...

Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
Every year I keep looking at this race then chicken out.
The jam doughnuts might swing it for me next year.:thumbup:
