No, the heat hadn’t sent us into delirium but we had the age-old problem of confirming we’d actually arrived at Madwoman’s Stones. Fortunately, it was clear (and hot) so we could see other stones to Read more

From the start there was considerable route choice with a large group taking the Ollerbrook option. Gavin commented that from his lofty perch round the back of Ringing Roger, gained by ascending the zig-zags, that all the coughing and spluttering coming from down the valley, sounded like it was an outing of TB sufferers!
The line from Druids Stone to the descent to Blackden proved to be vital in gaining a few minutes over fellow runners. Foggy conditions over the plateau made for varied lines being followed. I am still not sure which is the best as the conditions have such an important contribution. Gavin chose to go back round the edge path rather than take the big descent and bigger climb from the knoll to the ponds which he reckons saved him ten minutes. This third climb was certainly exhausting for the rest of us.
Thanks also to the walker(Alan ), cyclist( John ), my chauffeur, Hilary and others that turned up in the Nags Head for the essential debriefing. - MOZ

Moz's Birthday Run on Sun 4th Jan 2004
15 startersThanks to all those runners that turned up to take part in this inaugural run visiting some of the quieter parts of Kinder. We were lucky with the weather with a pleasant 6deg C and warm in the more sheltered valleys but a cool nw breeze on the tops, hence a considerable amount of snow still left on the northern edge path.From the start there was considerable route choice with a large group taking the Ollerbrook option.
