my first time on this one, and have to say one of the best organised I've ever done - even the weather was sorted!
I'll be losing 2 toenails after the descent to Townhead, but otherwise no complaints
[oh - except I'm gonna need to beg for the return of my number again...]
I wish I'd done the down-n-up though, it couldn't possibly've taken me any longer than the never-ending slog around the top of Grindsbrook...

I had a great day too; made it to Mam Nick on my target of 2:20 but had to slow/ stop for nourishment on the way up Rushup. Once I got going again no-one passed me from Lord's Seat on, until one guy in the last mile.
Brown Knoll was a slog, even though my line was good.
Wasn't sure about my 'shortcut' north of the Woolpacks until I realised I'd caught up with 2 guys from Totley, then passed them on the way to Grindslow.
Finished in 4:45; pie and gravy; tea, and a few beers to take home. Glad the heavens opened as I was leaving and not an hour earlier; could have been a sense of humour failure.
Really great organisation, website, communication and marshalling.
Many thanks Dark Peak, really well done, really appreciate it
Nice photos Pat! Here is a link to my pics taken on Win Hill.

I wish there was time to crop and edit photos before putting them out.

MickTor - how do you put a link that stays at the bottom of all your posts? I'm a bit thick like that!
