Regarding HPM history it\u2019s a bit complicated – it did start at Yorkshire Bridge ( going clockwise) for the first few events but soon moved to Edale. The record was set in 1988 by Martin Stone and co. In 8:07.  Then in 1996 the National Park and Nat Trust  got involved and we had to beg to be allowed to run the proper course but only every other year.  In 2002 The Rolling Stones (Simon Bourne, Alan Ward, Marcus Scotney, Richard Patton)  ran the full course in the 2nd<\/sup> best time  of  8:39. In 2004 we managed to negotiate a new route that we could do every year going via Lost Lad and Sheepfold Clough.  It was also adjusted in 2005 to go via Cutthroat Bridge.  Last year was a very quick year with record times for the new route in all classes.   8:48 for the men .  Dark peak Ladies set the best all female time of 10:42.   Nicky Spinks\u2019 Blind Mice have now gone better still this year  and lowered their own record to sub 10hrs- 9:59..
If anyone has results from 2000 and any pre-1992 it would be good to have a full set of all 36 events.<\/p>\n

John Hunt \u201cspotted plenty of DPFR in many different teams Friday night before the kick off.  Fantastic conditions loads of snow to wander through, once past Moscar the snow really started to dominate the view and make for some great night scenes. I don’t know any results other than DPFR had one runner in the winning team and we got round in 8hours 58minutes and 45 seconds.  Stephen Watts, Tom Brunt,  Stephen Pyke and myself.  The record for this course ( 8:07:00 ) has got to be one of the most tantalising do able long race records.\u201d
 
Callum sends:- \u201cSome more Dark Peak (in bold<\/strong>; feel free to correct any I missed) . Not sure about the rest of the field yet but the prelim results are here<\/a>:
    1st (1st Vet) 08:58:12<\/em> = Flipper’s Gang                                     [Stephen Watts, Stephen Pyke, Tom Brunt, John Hunt<\/strong>]
<\/em>    3rd (3rd Vet) 09:37:13<\/em> = Nuns From Chinley                            [Ian Winterburn<\/strong>, Darran Holloway, Adam Perry, Mick Stenton<\/strong>]
    4th (1st Mix) 09:59:14<\/em> = 3 Blind Mice And A Farmer’s Wife   [Nicky Spinks<\/strong>, John Rowe, Ian Charlesworth, Nick Cable<\/strong>]
    1st Ladies (12th) 11:35:11<\/em> = Dark Peak Ladies Accelerate   [Kirsty Bryan-Jones, Rachel Horn, Julia Nolan, Alice Robson<\/strong>]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team in 7th place (Mahogany Ridge Fell Runners) was a DPFR team- Steve Mathews, Russell Beresford, Kev Saville and Sarah Ridgway (Sarah is 2nd claim with us) . I reckon this makes us the first DPFR team for the 3rd year running.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam Rach, 2nd ladies team and 29th overall also had a DPFR member, Jo Armistead who was running with Rachel Findlay-Robinson, Rachell Botterill and Kate Cheesewright.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat weather conditions, underfoot conditions variable, some great times posted – Loads of Dark Peakers out and about! \u201c \u2013 Steve Matthews.<\/p>\n

Full results to follow, hopefully early this week.<\/p>\n

Also, for anyone interested, JH is right about the course record getting close, although the time of 08:07 stands from when the race started (and finished) at Yorkshire Bridge, and there have been a few route changes since then… I think the record for the current route is probably 08:39, set in 2002 by the High Peak Rollerbladers, but I’d have to confirm that.  The fastest ever time for the HPM is actually 06:26 by Sub 9, 2 years before their record of 08:07,
but this was due to following bad weather routes. Hopefully some more of the event history will be going up on the website before next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Driving home tired?  Have a look at this<\/a>  , Sir Ranulph Fiennes, having completed the HPM, \u201cTeam – Poles Apart \u2013 took Rucksack Trophy again \u2013 a couple of hours slower than our time of last year.\u201d, was in a car accident in Stockport afterwards. One of the different advantages of carsharing is having passengers to keep me awake on a long drive home\u2026
DT \u2013 please help out if you\u2019re in one of the other teams and not got a mention\u2026<\/p>\n
