Spare us the cut-off

Edale Skyline 13.03.16

A good start to the day

A proper good day out. The Edale Skyline is one of the highlights, of the Peak District, fellrunning calender and once again, Dark Peak Fell Runners put on a top event.

Slick organisation, friendly marshalls, and a great route rounded off with; pie and peas, tea and cake. The sun even put in an appearance.

Here are a a few photos, Highlights and randoms:

• My slowest ever Skyline
• I beat the cut-offs 
• Para-gliders, vulturing around Mam Tor. Not much meet on a fell runners bones.
• Catching up with Mikk
• For some reason I always feel sick on the great ridge.
• Rescue Ale, from Ian Dark Peak
• Snow/slush
• Sunshine

One of many many, smiley, Dark Peak  marshals.
Thank you, to you all

Not a bad end either.

Dark and White Events

Rab Mini Mountain Marathon 29/11/14 Edale 

A very big thank you to Adrian and everyone at Dark and White Events for all the Mini Mountain Marathons and the annual 2 day Rab MMs. The Mini MMs were an introduction to mountain navigation events for Ray (the other half of team ibuprofen) and I. We have thoroughly enjoyed every Dark and White event we have entered, since our very first race back in 2008.

Next year Dark and white pass on the Rab Mini MMs to these good people. I am sure they will do a fine job and carry on the good work.
