I've just uploaded the photos I took, rescued from the memory card up to the point when my camera's first taste of rain wrote it off for good (pretty pathetic when the previous one still works after multiple soakings and total immersions).![]()
Truck, I snapped you just before you did your overtaking manoeuvre approaching Burnt Hill! You were going well :thumbup:

Tim what's happened to your toe?!?
Cheers Nick
Not too sure BarnyIts started to hurt on my way down toward the Sett. It was killing on the final climb.
Got an x-ray lined up on friday.

Got my eye on doing this, hopefully without a hangover (day after my birthday). Having not done it before, is the route fairly obvious or is it worth a recce of any parts?
Pretty obvious. If you are someone who doesn't know the area I would reckon there are only two tricky bits. Making sure you find the descent path after Kinder Low trig point if the clag is down. Also finding your way back to the Scout hut at the end if you don't know Hayfield village can be tricky. If you are trying to win a prize for any of the categories then i'd recommend doing a recce of the last mile or so as you could lose it there!
Cheers. I know Kinder fairly well & would be very surprised to win anything other than a spot prize in the men's open. Sounds like the last mile is worth warming up on then...
How many runners does it usually attract?
I think it usually attracts around 150-200.
The last section through the village is definitely worth a recce.
