Oooooh Bullock Smithy Hike! It is indeed suitable for ultra runners and there is keen competition every year between the Stockport and Macc Harriers.
If you have any questions Ben I suggest you ask on the Wanna Blista thread in Clubhouse. Nexus Icon who goes on there is the course record holder and there are lots of BS fans on there. I am a slow person though, and DNFed when I had a go at it (but I didn't really train though ) so I am not an expert!
In fact it is back in the RunFurther champs for this year. It will make September a tough month for anyone going for the Grand Slam with an Itinerery like this:
1 Sept Bullock Smithy
15 Sept High Peak 40
29 Sept Hardmoors 60
Personally I will probably be doing just the High Peak 40, although I do love that bit of Yorkshire coast that the Hardmoors goes along......
BD- I am one of the said Stockport runners (Morticia mentioned) who now hold the current course record.
Team and indivdual
I cannot speak highly enough of this event, it's simply brilliant, I've ran it for the last 6 years but unfortunatly can't do it this year due to my nephew getting married on the same day.
As a group we have recced it to death there isn't a short cut we don't know but there is a few sections where some of us have still took a wrong turn
If you want any info about this event I'll gladly help out.

Damn it Roger, I would love to do all those races!
Being realistic, I will probably drop the High Peak 40, since it is in the middle and I have done it before anyway.
