Edale Skyline Fell Race

[fozzy]

Evening all.

I'm not an experienced fell runner (trail/roadie) so just after any info regarding suitability? From looking at the websites it looks as though the route is obviously not marked, I wondered whether you get away with it by following others on the day or whether it needs a reccie in advance? Any info regarding the course would also be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Rich.

Well, a couple of points.
1. The race is full, so unless you've already entered and somehow got through the vetting process, the question is moot.
2. If you are in the race, then I would say you need to know where you are going and don't rely on others

. Recce is the gold standard

No. I'd argue navigational ability should be the gold standard. But a lot of fell runners only rely on a recce, that much is true.
