Finally, we have a chance to fit in the much requested GG recce on Feb 6th. Run start at 8.00am.
As I’m keen to make this a training run and not a draining run (catchy, eh?) we have a choice of:
Option 1 Full Route (21 Miles). Runners Confirmed:
Option 2 Start/ Finish Baslow (12.3 + 5.4 miles Tempo) Total 17.7 miles. Runners Confirmed: Karl Atton, Krish Mahadevan, Andy Rose, David Riach, Suzanne Sharman
Start at Baslow and run to join the GG route at Froggatt. This allows us to time all the sections of the GG except for the first stage: Grindleford-Eyam and the last stage; Baslow-Grindleford. We can miss out the rather crippling Baslow Bar. May I suggest that we do a brief stop at Hassop Station Cafe (approx 12.3 miles) for a cup of tea etc. and then do a tempo session for the last 5 miles back to Baslow?
Option 3 Baslow – Hassop (12.3 Miles). Runners Confirmed: Ian Hays, Andy Parkin, Steph Ilsley
Those doing the Stamford 20 may like to leave a car at Hassop Station, be ferried to Baslow and run with us for the first 12 miles
All three choices can be accommodated, so let me know which you will be running, and I’ll try and co-ordinate car share.
