For all runners of this years Edaledale Skyline, the Dark Peak website has new selection of photo's loaded up of runners on Rushup Edge.
Wow, that video of the 2007 race is mad!!!! Blooming heck!! You had to be seriously good to of finished that. Amazing footage. The camera guy deserves a medal :-)
No he doesn't, he's lightweight retiring to Edale as soon as he'd beeen blown over a few timesnow the marshalls who were out all day....
Esp that cheerful chap on Grindslow Knoll.........I forget his name.....
Every one had a tough time that day. esp Loxley Lad(I think it was him) et al at the top of Jacobs ladder where most of the runners who were rescued were sheltering.
New FB event page for next year.

Can a mod change the Title to Edale Skyline Fell and take the date off please
Who done the exact opposite on The Trigger thread - putting the date in the title???
well they could change it to the 2013 skyline but we have no new info yet
At the risk of starting the Edale Skyline Fell Race Frenzy before Christmas I thought I'd let folk know that entries for the 2013 race will open towards the end of January. It will certainly be online entry and most likely through SportIdent.
As the 'official worst kept secret in fell running' the exact date that entries will be confirmed, on't @edaleskyline on twitter and at https://www.facebook.com/EdaleSkylineFellRace at http://www.dpfr.org.uk/pages/3 and i'm sure even here too ;-)
Please spread the word as it really is quite irritating to get countless emails asking when entries open...
like I did last year I'll keep a good few places back for 'contenders' - as I'm a firm believer that the competitive element of the event should be a race over the fells rather than a race to download a form of the internet and post it through my door!
Substitutions will be allowed (encouraged in fact!) for a few extra pounds which, as last year, will go straight to Edale MRT - we gave them £750 last year. All proceeds from the race will be given to local charities (last year approx £1600)
There will be more detailed information on the above dpfr website once I've actually written it. But expect vetting for suitable experience and very robust kit requirements and (thanks to IDP) pre-race checking, followed by a cracking tough race and some of Kevs legendary stew.
let the general over-excitement commence....
And there was I thinking you were such a patient mild mannered sort of chap! Tried sending you a PM enquiring if entries are open yet, but it would appear your in-box is full
What a sensible approach to race organisation. I will be linking to this post when we have yet another forum discussion about people who can't register for full events despite people not turning up on the day.
I hope it's another good champs race. Will anyone beat Lloyd this time?
