(rest day)
Trigger analysis brought on by chatting to Julie Gardner...
I came down the PW from Kinder Low pretty damn fast, and from there to the river crossing just below JL, Nic is just under 8 mins and I'm just under 12. I know he's faster than me anyway; but not that much (50%) -> I think his route is better.
He is 12 mins faster up to Bleaklow Head (35 vs 47) which is relatively more marginal (35%), but probably still a better route taking the track.
For contrast, S->black hill summit (no choice uphill), it's much closer (46 to 54, 17%); similarly Black hill summit ->Crowden (no choice downhill), 28 to 34 (21%).
Based on these routes as well as going more direct to the aircraft wreck, reckon I should be able to run 4:12 next year (in the same conditions). Looking forward to it already!
