The trigger is nearly upon us. I went up Lawrence Edge yesterday, there is significant work on going as you leave Torside reservoir which means the stile below the edge to get over the wall is blocked so run up track 50m to the left and run back down lane, do not climb the wall before the works as this is Private land.

forecast is looking reasonable but possibly much colder than of late with Snow a possibility!!

please come properly prepared.

Below is MINIMUM kit list

Full waterproof jacket and trousers (with taped seams)

shoes suitable for fell running

long sleeved top (You can wear this but I would suggest having a spare top)

head torch (Phone torch is not suitable)

emergency survival bag or blanket

hat and gloves

map of route (the Dark Peak map OL1 which just excludes Marsden is acceptable)

compass (Silva / Recta type)

whistle

emergency food

Good luck all
