A trig. point (or triangulation stations to give them their correct titles), for anyone that is not into hills, is a white three sided pillar, used by the Royal Ordnance many moons ago for taking bearings and levels of surrounding topography to create the great great grandparents of our ordnance survey maps of today. Incidentally, trig. points are now redundant as all surveying is now done from outer space. The 15 trig. points of the Dark Peak are (with their 6 figure grid references all on ordnance survey sheet SK) :- ROD MOOR : 263884 EMLIN: 240934 BACK TOR : 198910 MARGERY HILL : 189957 OUTER EDGE : 177970 ALPORT : 129933 SHELF MOOR : 089948 COCK HILL : 059962 HARRY HUT : 045908 KINDER WEST : 077894 KINDER LOW : 079871 BROWN KNOLL : 084851 BLACKDEN : 129878 WIN HILL : 187851 HIGH NEB : 228853 The start and finish is the Sportsman Pub at Lodge Moor, Sheffield. Gd.ref. 282862 1999’s pre Bob Graham training first brought the 15 TRIGS to my attention plus an article in a past copy of THE DARK PEAK NEWS written by Chris Barber and Jim Fulton. Several attempts last year to start the run with Johnathan Straker from the Dark Peak Fell Runners (DPFR) were foiled for one reason or another. A few months ago Richard Hakes (DPFR) spoke of a March jaunt around the route. No more was heard for several weeks. At the finish line of the Edale Skyline race on Sunday 26th March, Richard was recording times. As usual, I hung myself with my mouth, quote “ Richard, have you had any more thoughts about the 15 trigs? “ his replied “ yes Andy - next Sunday. Are you with us? It will do you good “. The actual route sounded demanding enough but the suggested starting time of 5:30 am on a Sunday, From Lodge Moor, made my heart sink. I thought there was only one 5:30 in any day and that was after I had finished work. The week drew on, Dave Griffin said he was ‘on for it’ and the only thing that would prevent us starting was fog. The morning of the 2nd of April arrived, I had set my alarm for 4:00am but woke at 3:50amin anticipation, or was in constipation. The view through the window was, to say the least , limited. It was very dark and very foggy. I picked Dave up at his home at 4:45 and Jim Bell at 5:10. Not one of us thought we would start. Arriving at the Sportsman and seeing Tom Westgate, Richard Hakes and Kev Saville already togged and ready for the off made us panic somewhat. First thing tom said was “ Dont make to much noise , we will be calling for a pint later on. “ Because of the fog we started late, 5:33am, a full three minutes. Head torches in hand to avoid reflection from the mist, we set off up the road. A right turn took us onto a steep downhill wooded path, we soon realised Jim had not brought a torch, I think it was a tree that got him. The first 1.5 hours was a bit of a mystery to me, but once we hit the Strines road I new where I was. By this time the first trig point had fallen, 37 mins , no problem. A little trespassing bagged the second at Emlin, Quite a bit more trespassing got us to the Derwent Edge path where we dumped our kit and legged it to Back Tor and back, trig point 3. Margery Hill in 3.5 hours and Outer Edge in another 29 minutes. It was 9:30 am on a Sunday morning and the body clock was saying time to get up. A long 72 minutes gathered in trig point number 6 at Alport 5 hrs 12 mins after starting. Richard kept reminding us we were only just ahead of schedule therefore no time to relax. Normally the Alport valley is a wonderful place to be, but when you have to run up i , and beyond, it looses some of its beauty. Shelf Stones looked good at 11:3 am, just over 6 hours into the run, only another 9 hours to go. It was somewhere around this time that Richard announced he had miscalculated in previous statements and we were in fact at least half an hour up. Now, as explained before, trig points by their very nature are on high vantage points, not so Cock Hill, but with no fog at this stage, and two, Tom and Richard, excellent navigators 33 minutes after Shelf Stones we tagged trig point number 8, past half way. The art of long fell events is in the constant refuelling with any type of food you can force down, whether you feel like it or not. With hindsight I should have eaten more coming down into Old Glossop. It was a fast decent and a 2 kilometre slog on a minor road to get us to the best striking point for Harry Hut. As soon as we climbed the stile onto the moor I started to lose the connection between brain and legs. The other 5 plus Dave Lindop and Willie Gibbins, who had joined us at Glossop, were several hundreds of metres in front which seemed insurmountable. It took me about 1 hour 15 minutes to catch up, which saw 2 more trigs ticked off, Harry Hut and Kinder West. I caught and past the group, with a little help from Willie (he took my rucksack for a while) at the Kinder Downfall, they had all stopped to top up water bottles. Dave and Jim joined me at Red Brook and we ran together to Kinder Low (number 11) and to Brown Knoll (number 12), it was 2:55 pm and I was feeling good. (back from the dead). Richard,Tom and Kev had done a brilliant job of navigating, but the strain was telling a little, everyone was tired. Blackden took 1 hour 18 minutes from Brown Knoll, it seemed a lot longer. Win Hill (number 14) took another 1 hour 18 minutes - just one left and 11 hours 58 minutes of “running “ under our belts. The decent from Win Hill to Yorkshire Bridge is a killer at any time but after 12 hours of hard labour it was diabolical. The road section to the foot of Stanage is a painful slog toil for anyone but to 6 weary and foot sore souls it was purgatory, the saving grace being the last trig was virtually in sight. A short rock scramble took us to within 150 metres of High Neb, we had done the 15 trigs except for the run back to the Sportsman about 1 hour away. The clag had descended and the rain had started, still, 14 hours on the hill and only rain for the last hour is not bad considering the weather others had to contend with on the 1/3rd marathon and the Doncaster ½ marathon. A very satisfying day out. Dave Griffin ran well ; Jim Bell ran ( and talked strong ) ; Tom Westgate was sound and solid all day ( well nearly all day ) ; Richard Hakes ( Mr Schedule ) was the route finder general and Kev Saville just got on with the business, I, other than the 1.25 hours mid run, had a “grand day out“ and finished feeling good. One day my left big toe might forgive me. 56 miles - quite a lot of climbing and 13 hours 27 minutes gives you a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.

But what about all the other nutrients that are being used up as you run? Nutritional deficiencies are more common in runners than you might think as running increases the depletions of the stores, but you can help yourself by looking out for the warning signs and making sure you are topped up. Left untreated, they can lead to poor performance, running injuries and serious heath issues. The signs The warning signs - Most common is a reduction in energy and increased perception of effort in training.

  • The Edale Circular Walk a Cloudy Day in the Peak District Is Better Than a Sunny Day in the Office
    The Edale circular walk A cloudy day in the Peak District is better than a sunny day in the office. The Edale circular walk is a great walk and takes you via: Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Upperbooth, Jacob’s ladder, Browne Knoll trig point, Rushop edge, Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and then back to Edale. Plan your day for this Edale Circular hike: Start/Parking: I always start at Edale car park. Grid ref 125854 (OS Explorer SL1). Enter S33 7ZA into your Sat Nav. As you reach Hope you should turn onto Edale road, after a few miles you’ll find the car park on the right just before you turn right into Edale village. The last time I visited (Nov 2013) the parking costs were £3.00 for 2 – 4 hours and £5 for over 4 hours - don't forget your £1 coins. Walk summary: I started the walk at 9.30am and got back to the car park at 2pm (4 ½ hours). I stopped a couple of times for a cuppa and a little lunch at Hollins Cross. The walk starts at 231m and the highest point is around 569m. There are a number of stys, rough tracks, steep hill climbs and steep descents - you have to be fit to attempt this walk. Guided walks: We have guides available for this edale circular walk to escort you on your walk. Our guides are very friendly, experienced hill walkers. They are also highly qualified first aiders. Obviously there is a charge for their time; the more there are of you the cheaper it will be.

  • THE FOUR COUNTY TOPS- SOLO COMPLETION. (The Fairholmes
    THE FOUR COUNTY TOPS- SOLO COMPLETION. (The Fairholmes Variation!) Colin Lago Invitation to sponsorship St. Lukes Hospice has recently cared for a dear friend of mine and whilst out on the following adventure, I thought that I would seek (retrospective) sponsorship to raise money for this excellent centre of care. So, whilst appreciating that this approach is highly unconventional, i.e. that people seek sponsorship for challenges they are going to be taking, not ones they have taken! And that this is not, in any way, an organised event- again unusual!) Any contributions would be gratefully accepted. All money collected will go directly to St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield. Thank you. Introduction. This route was first suggested in an article by Tony Wimbush in ‘The Fellrunner’, (Feb. 2006) and was originally conceived as starting and finishing at Hayfield. The route represents ‘ a continuous circuit of over 40 miles linking the four county tops of Derbyshire, (Kinder Scout, 636m) South Yorkshire, (High Stones, 548 m) West Yorkshire, (Black Hill, 583 m) and Greater Manchester, (Black Chew Head, 542 m.)’ The only other criteria that Wimbush suggested was to cross the A57 Sheffield – Manchester road in two particular places, (on the outward and return journeys) :one over the Snake summit and the other crossing near the Snake Inn. My own account! Having been considering this route for a little while now- ever since two friends in the running club managed a winter traverse, I decided to have a go on May 9th, but for convenience and transport purposes chose to start and finish at Fairholmes car park on Lady Bower reservoir.

  • Landscape-Strategy-Dark-Peak.Pdf
    www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 3: Dark Peak Peak District National Park Authority Dark Peak Dark Peak open moorland © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Dark Peak is a sparsely settled area of gritstone uplands lying at the southern end of the Pennine Hills. The area comprises an extensive upland plateau with steep gritstone slopes, sometimes with rocky edges, that drop away to lower lying slopes, wooded cloughs and deep valleys, some of which have been flooded to create large reservoirs. It contrasts sharply with the adjoining limestone uplands of the White Peak and is named on account of the dark hues created in the landscape by the peat moors and exposed gritstone. Whilst this landscape character area contrasts with the White Peak, the transition to other landscape character areas such as the Dark Peak Eastern and Western Fringe landscapes is much more gradual; these are landscapes of similar character but tend to be lower lying, more settled and more intensively managed than the Dark Peak with enclosed farmland rather than open moorland predominating. The Eastern Moors to the south-east of the Dark Peak are similar to it in character but lower lying with less deep peat creating a landscape that has been more obviously modified by people than the Dark Peak generally has. In the north, the moorland plateau of the Dark Peak continues into the Southern Pennines. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 3: Dark Peak such as the golden plover and the dunlin. On the lower moorland Physical influences slopes heather dominates, with varying amounts of bilberry, The Dark Peak is an extensive area of high moorland and adjacent cowberry and crowberry.
