"skeg" was a very common term when I was in the RN.

I heard it when I worked for a company in Osset I’ve done 3 or 4 full YORMS; best time 4-26, 2007 - the year I that marathon they put on in London. I did a better time in September than I did in April and have not done anything like a serious road race since |

I’ve done some very serious road races; I’ve even taken a few of them seriously ![]() |

Q: I'm unlikely to enter big Peak races like Edale Skyline / Kinder Downfall but wouldn't mind running the routes. Before I chuck some £ Harvey's way for the maps, are there private land parts of these routes that are only opened up for the race?

Skyline is all footpaths, not sure about Downfall. If you go on race website and look at route details it usually says if a section is "race day only"

Kinder Scout is access land isn’t it? I’d have thought you could run the route

amazon.co.uk For anyone with an interest in Peakland, the struggle for access, the origins of mountain / fell rescue, the Pennine Way the Bogtrotters Guide is essential reading |
