Confusion -15 April 2026
The Serious Warts had decided that this week’s venue was to be Strines at 5pm but, in the meantime, we were told that DPFR were reviving the Way Out West race as part of the Read more

Only the treasurer looked apprehensive since the number of entrants was inexplicably down and when presented for an invoice for £52.38 for race numbers and posh waterproof checkpoint lists muttered, \"That\'s all it used to cost for the whole race a few years ago\". It is true that costs have escalated as we have sought to improve the organisation and be more generous with our donations to other bodies such as the Mountain Rescue, St John\'s Ambulance to say nothing of \"Friends of Edale School\". In 1993 it cost almost £900 to stage (at the time of writing the figures for 1994 are not finalised). Since the number of entrants was down to 211 it does appear that we may have made a loss which will offset the profit made last year.
The day of the race was cold and blustery and yet there were still some runners who did not believe that leg cover was essential - let us hope that no-one learns that lesson the hard way. The results could have been predicted very easily with Colin Donnelly winning again and the Borrowdale team of Bland, Bland and Schofield following. The first Dark Peak runner was Phil Crowson in a very creditable 15th place.
Colin Donnelly left his prize behind again but only after dropping it, causing the treasurer to mutter, \"More expense\".
This year the support from the club in volunteering to marshall was better than ever and Roy Small didn\'t have to use the big stick. The marshals had a perishing cold time and should be duly proud of their efforts. Dick Pasley handled entries very efficiently but needs some help in counting over 150. Lots of cheerful voluntary help was offered in the kitchen, checking numbers, car parking and many other jobs. So many helpers that I cannot list them all but special mention should go to John Myers who acted as car park marshall, ran the race and then stayed behind to wield the mop.
The race was supported by Outside of Hathersage with prizes presented by Dick Turnbull, managing director and founder of the Foundry, Britain\'s best indoor climbing facility. Wards brewery again supported us handsomely. Mike Browell seems to have a magic touch when dealing with sponsors.
An excellent effort by Dark Peak in mounting a major race. Thanks to all who helped.

Edale Skyline on Sun 27th Mar 1994
152 startersOnce again the \"dream machine\", otherwise known as the Skyline sub¬committee got into its stride (actually crept into a corner of the Sportsman) in October. By March, despite efforts of non-members in interrupting meetings with offers of pints (a few) and chats about \"next Sunday\" (more numerous), all systems were GO.Only the treasurer looked apprehensive since the number of entrants was inexplicably down and when presented for an invoice for £52.38 for race numbers and posh waterproof checkpoint lists muttered, \"That\'s all it used to cost for the whole race a few years ago\".
