Have you got memory map? It's good with GPS, you can upload or download tracks/waypoints etc. A bit expensive but I got it as a present.
Hope you get your team together for High Peak.
Caspar/Tim/Loz - If Loz is in agreement looks like Bog Standard then and we're in business!
Who gets to carry the sleeping bag?
I use Fugawi software. I thought about Memory map but the Fugawi covers more of Britain which makes it more versatile. It's not as good as Memory map, some of the data is suspect but you can plot and plan, download,upload etc so it is adequate. I might look again at Memory map and just get the lakes part.
Today went well but took a bit longer than I thought, but it was good.

it depends on how heavy the sleeping bag is!
BLD A bit misty early on but found right track this time. Likewise I took longer than expected due to terrain, averaging 3 mph. Hope high peak has parts you can actually run on - must get map of area.
However, there is another High Peak Challenge 40. It is in September and looks a lot more friendly in that it is during the day and you don't have to carry all that gear - might be one for next year.
Someone has started a thread for this. Anyone any thoughts on this.
We dont have to make a decision until November or so anyway
The high Peak in September looks good.
Not sure if I can make the weekend but it will be a brezze for someone of your calibre
John,
GPS cannot be used by teams in the High Peak Marathon - Sorry!
However, teams are permitted to carry GPS in a bag sealed by race control
before the start. This means that in an emergency they can break the seal
and use their GPS although it would of course disqualify the team.
Yours

That's the final straw for this one as far as I'm concerned - plenty more user friendly events to aim for.
it's a navigation event...... navigate!
Or just follow the lights of Manchester and Sheffield
It might put a completely different slant on their attitude.
Never mind I might be able to convince them.
Onwards and Upwards(or down, whatever the squiggly lines mean)

many thanks!
Right then we have
Me and Ed_M are up for this and with have Timmy R in reserve - who would rather stay in reserve.
Anyone else up for making a team of four?
