Edale Skyline: RACE CANCELLED
After liaising with Edale MRT and Edale Valley locals this morning
the situation is that road travel is nearly impossible throughout the
Hope and Edale valleys.
Even parking would now be extremely difficult even on flat ground, which is very limited in the first place.
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL.
We had left this decision until today to give us the maximum chance of being able to react to any situations. But the amount of snow (30cm+ overnight in the valleys) is beyond our control.
There is obviously stil a lot of work to do today. We will make an announcement about what happens next soon.
It is incredibly disappointing to have to call the race off, but I am sure that people will understand why there is no other option.
