Could anyone please tell me which way is the race run from Lose Hill to Hollins Cross? Last year it went over Back Tor and not through Brockett plantation which was out of bounds.
I want to come and watch the race after crocking my ankle on the Thursday evening after registering. Marvelous.Don't worry I transfered my place to a team mate so it wasn't wasted.

You running this one Stagger??
I'll soon be sending out a final email, hopefully to the right people this time - but that's another story!
But if people could spread the word about a very minor, but important route issue. As normal the route will be marked from Brown Knoll Trig - the NT are building us a new stile to cross the fence to the new flagged path. This MUST be followed to its junction with Jacobs ladder then head down that to the new jacobs ladder Checkpoint.
I know some people have cut the corner on recce trips but this involves crossing walls/barbed wire fences which is obviously not acceptable in a race. there will be a couple of extra marshals up there to remind people of this.
And please read the information on kit requirements at http://dpfr.org.uk/pages/3 ; we are strict on this and don't want people to be disappointed if they can't run due to not having the right stuff.
You check your details on the entry list here - https://www.sientries.co.uk/list.php?event_id=962

Quick couple of questions on that;
1. Thin baselayer helly/smartwool - Is a normal Helly ok or does it need to be a warmer one? (I don't own one that's all)
2. Mini survival bag - I have a bright orange cheapy survival bag that's basically a big heavy duty plastic bag, is that ok?
3. Mobile phone - do you have to carry one or is it an optional extra?
I was hoping not to bore on about kit again but just wanted to check rather than screw up and not bring some obscure item along which would be pretty annoying.
As it says a helly type layer will be fine. I'm not aware they make anything thicker.
Orange bag will be fine although the forecast would need to be really bad for those to be insisted on
You are welcome to carry a mobile but it's not essential.
Cheers Ian, that's cleared that up. Helly do make a warmer base layer but I've never bothered buying one as I expect it would be too warm for me
If my Edale experiences are anything to go by being 'too warm' at the Edale Skyline is really unlikely. You're up on the ridge line all the flipping time and, if the winds blowing, its br-br-brassic.
Just reccied the second half it weren't right warm i can tell you!
I was out yesterday recceing a few last minute bits and bobs it was sunny but still b****y freezing
