- In this video we head to Edale for some Trail Running along the Edale Skyline Route. We climb up to Ringing Roger on Kinder Scout, then run via Grindsbrook and the Woolpacks over to Brown Knoll. We eventually descend from Lord's Seat towards Mam Tor and back in to Edale. It was a Recce of the 1st half of the Edale Skyline Race route which I've entered this year on the 27th of March 2022.

Great to see you out Dean, thanks for the shout, what a beautiful day it was, we'll take some more days like that please. P.S Kinder is adorable 😍 ☺️ take care.
Really great to see you both for a brief moment, hope you enjoyed the rest of your walk with the Herd. Kinder is my best mate, he's like my shadow 😁 Thanks for watching and hopefully see you out there again soon. Dean
What a lovely dog you have there enjoy your video thanks
Thanks for watching Steve, he's my best mate 😁
Another excellent video Dean . Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching Albert 👍😎
Good to see back on the tube... excellent work
Thanks for watching 👍😎
Nice to see!
Thanks for watching 👍
I was working across the Hope Valley on Sunday. It was a fantastic day for running. Having done a few loops your run has whetted the appetite. Alas my boy, Merlin, is no longer here to drag me at pace across Rushup and Mam Tor to the cross. But he is always with me.... Great vid, will watch more.
Thanks for watching Gary. I'm really looking forward to taking our dog Kinder running when he's older.
Nice one Dean, GLORIOUS day for it buddy. Good luck on the race 👍
Thanks for watching Col, it was a really enjoyable run. The race will be a bit more intense but as long as I make it round before the cutoff times then I'll be over the moon... Even if I don't it will be great to have a crack at such an iconic race at this early stage in my running career. Just wanted to give it a go 😁
Brilliant video here Dean, enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for uploading oh and Awesome beard too!!
Thanks for watching Alex and thanks for your kind words re the beard 🤣🤣 I mentioned in another comment that I'd not realised how long it was until I started looking back at this footage
@@DeanRead 🤣 they just grow all the time and never stops, it suits you.
Nice to see u back mate👍..
It's good to be back 😁 Thanks for watching
Great weather and some great scenery. Nice to see some footage of the Mam Tor to Edale route.
It's a really nice route and you can get away from the crowds a little in the Brown Knoll section. Thanks for watching David
@@DeanRead I always enjoy watching your videos. Just watched your Crib Goch video, I'm hoping to get over there either April/May time and I'm staying at the campsite at the start of the Watkins Path, so seeing you hike to Pen-Y-Pass from that area gave me a good idea of the route to take as I was hoping to do the same loop as you did.
That route is amazing, I really enjoyed Crib Govh and coming down the Watkins Path. I hope you have a great time 👍
Gorgeous day to be out.
It was a stunning weekend wasn't it, fingers crossed we get more days like this. Thanks for watching 👍😎
One day i shall find this " out of breath Ginger guy " and maybe even share a plant chef wrap
Cracking dog, will be great company on the fells.
He'll be a great mountain companion when he's old enough, will wait until he's at least 18 months old before we start running him on the hills. Thanks for watching Adrian
Fantastic vlog Dean👍
Thanks for watching Matt
Nice to see the Peak District back to its glorious best Dean after 3 less than glorious weekends! Best of luck with the Edale skyline race. Good idea to speed walk up Ringing Roger and not run! I don’t think I’d fancy running down there either!
Thanks for watching Anthony. I ran down Ringing Roger to Edale last year, it's an exhilarating experience. Looking forward to the race, will see how it goes 😁
0:04 Brilliant. must have been a Friday, thats my van outside the pub, the little white fiesta. great stuff dean
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Another great video. That beard is getting mighty impressive! Almost as big as mine. Ginger power!
Haha thanks my ginger brother. I didn't realise how long it was until I started editing this video 🤣 Thanks for watching
Your an inspiration my friend 👍
Great to watch, looking forward to the next one ❤
Thanks for watching and for your kind words 👍😎
Fantastic weather for a run like that. Great scenery, still one of my favourite Peak District areas despite often being busy. Looks like your training is going well! Great to have you back on CZcams 👍
Thanks for watching Greg. The training is going reasonably well, I've dialed it back a little as I was running every day at the start of the year. Focusing on distance rather than speed but trying to keep up the consistency without overdoing it.
Really enjoyed following along with you Dean. Such a beautiful place to be. I'm impressed you don't even sound winded as you run along. Good luck with the race. ( Nice music 👍).
Thanks for watching Julie. The weather was very reminiscent of our Pennine Way adventure 😁 I'll be happy if I can just make it round in the race, no real time goals other than beating the cutoff
Done that a few time's back in the 80's when I was a Fell/Marathon runner. Still doing it at a more leisurely pace. At least I now look at the scenery and not the floor for two hours!!
We always take it steady and enjoy the scenery. I admire the super quick fell runners but I prefer to cruise along 😁 Thanks for watching Malc
Nice to meet you on the way up to Ringing Roger, i wish i would have crossed paths with the Back packs and Bruises girls :)
Nice to meet you Olan, hope you had a successful tent pitch test. You weren't too far away from them, so close but yet so far 🤣
Lovely video, need to put this route on my summer training scheme though forever getting turned around on Kinder. Navigational nightmare in the fog!
Thanks for watching Hannah.. Kinder can be a nightmare navigation wise in bad weather, my friends and I used to head there and intentionally try and get lost to practice poor weather navigation skills 😁
wonderful .walked many parts of that area but, it was 40 year ago ,found our limits now around 6-8 mile then getting tired. Love you video's brings back many many happy memories from when we done the Yorkshire 3 peaks . we have loan of a cottage in Buxton now from a friend. Hope to be visiting june -july and trying to get fit enough to venture out into the hills ,Three shire head,
Padly gorge etc .Stay safe & healthy and all the very best when you do your challenge .
Thanks for watching Roger, I hope you have a great time when you visit the Peaks in the summer
Nice one mate, a beautiful day for it. hope you make the cut offs on race day, but I'm sure you will. ive started my running again, just over 2 weeks in, and can't wait till I'm back running the peaks agin.
hopefully catch you on a camp soon
Atb Mark
Definitely catch you on a camp again soon mate, even if it's a week night one when we have some more daylight hours. I'll give it a good go but I'll be happy with the experience even if I don't make the cut offs. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video of that beautiful route! Loved the Kinder reel at the end, he is a gorgeous dog! You're brave for entering the race, well done! 😁
Thanks for watching Sarah, we thought about you as we ran through Edale... Still need to meet for a run 👍😎 I'm either brave or stupid for entering, I think the later is more true... I'll give it a go and give it my best shot, just wanted to be part of a race I've dreamed of doing even before I started running. It's such an iconic route isn't it.
@@DeanRead ahh that's nice, I was away in the Lake District otherwise I may have seen you out there! It's an amazing, challenging route! I've only completed it once, and even that included a coffee top up and food stop in Hope. I bet it'll be amazing to be part of the fell race! And I bet it'll have a lot of interest after a two year gap.
Fingers crossed the weather is as nice on race day as it was this weekend. I'll be ready for coffee and cake when i'm finished if I make it all the way around 😁
Love it, that’s my favourite area in the Peaks, did the Edale Skyline last year starting and finishing in New Mills, running the Sett Valley Trail into Hayfield then up to Swines Back that was a tough Day. More videos please, been a long Winter.
Thanks for watching Mark. I just need to remember to take the camera with us on our weekend long runs, we've been doing so great routes recently 😁
Walked this route many a times, however never been fit enough to run it. Hope you have a good race Dean. My mate says i always seem to do a little run on the last bit back to the pub though lol.
Hahaha 🤣 my friends and I always seem to find the energy to head to the pub even after a long strenuous day in the hills 😁 Thanks for watching
Great video Dean! Very jealous you got on Mam Tor, we got to Mam Nick for about half 9/9.45 after visiting Little John at Hathersage and it was rammed. That's how we came to walk the Curbar Circular. Kinder looks a lively little pup.
Hi Jamie, sounds like you had a great time in the Peaks at the weekend even if you did miss out on parking for Mam Tor. Kinder is my best mate, I'll be taking him everywhere I go when he is old enough to run with us. All the best. Dean
brilliant mate, cant believe how kinder as grown, hope to see him some time 👍
When he's older he'll be out with us on our runs, he'll have to stick to low mileage and camping for now. Thanks for watching 👍
I was going out with backpackers and bruises but was Not well, if I had gone I would have seen you again, last time I sore you was on a running weekend in January. Next weekend I am doing the dark and light peak Castleton loop run over mamtor
That was a great weekend in Hathersage, we got very similar weather on the Sunday. You booked on to any more of Geoff's weekends? I'm in Snowdonia this weekend with the Focused Performance crew.
@@DeanRead no I am not booked in on any of Jeffs weekends. This month I'm doing the spring series of dark and light peaks races in April I'm doing the longhorn half marathon with my dog , I have got a weekend booked to climb Snowdon and a weekend to do Scafell.
Got some swim run events in the summer hoping to run more in the Peak District as I have a 20 mile Run booked for November starting at Derwent Dam.
I just bought a new ebike so have plans to go out with the mountain bike club a lot more this summer and hoping to get into the Peak District with it
Your calendar sound packed with great adventures, enjoy 👍😎
Excellent vlog Dean, as always inspiring. Walking the Skyline later this month from Edale and hoping the weather is half as good as your day?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Mike, thanks for watching 👍
Great video dean watch all the pennie way video have done sonme of the pennie way but just day walk done blackstone edge to Hebden bridge but I went to widdop reservoir to follow burnley way to get back home as I live in Lancashire good luck with the run
Thanks for watching Beverley and I hope you continue to explore the Pennine Way 👍
@@DeanRead done a few done black hill Malham via Janet’s foss to maltham tarn x looking to cowling to pinahaw beacon z
Great video as always Dean. Could be one for 2023 for me.
How were the TerraUltra's on the terrain? I'm always a bit wary that once the ground becomes really wet, that their grip isn't sufficient
Thanks for watching Ashley, get it booked in for 2023 mate 👍 Yeah the Terra Ultras are great but once it starts to get really muddy then I wish I had some Inov8 MudClaws 😁
I would aspire to be as fit as you Dean but at 60 I too often hear the call of my slippers !
Hahaha 🤣 Thanks for watching Dafydd
Great video Dean, what camera set up do you use on these videos while you're running +
Thanks for watching 👍 I use a GoPro Hero 8 Black for running, I have the image stabilization turned on so it gives really great footage while running..
@@DeanRead that's incredible to know, I've just bought one over the the 9 and the 10 on comparison I could t see a massive difference and your video and audio are top notch!!
I'm struggling a little with wind protection as the foam cover I have is ok but not perfect. My current on is a windslayer
@@DeanRead yeah I've had a look at these, I was worried about that blustery back ground noise. I'll have a look at the Wind slayer, I was also considering and external mic
I have a friend who has an external mic and I think he has more success with wind protection on that
I'd love to run these, but I can barely walk them at the moment. I do love the area around mam tor too :)
It's a spectacular place isn't it, you can see why it draws the crowds. Thanks for watching 👍
@@DeanRead You’re very welcome. I think the Peak District itself is a place of beauty. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff :)
I never tire of the Peak District, I visit multiple times a week but I love it more each time 😁
@@DeanRead I might see you one day, well on a Saturday when I go haha
Come and say hi if you do 👍
How technical and boggy is the route?
Hi Bilal, it's a nice technical run in places but it's not as boggy as it used to be. The section along Brown Knoll was terrible about 6+ years ago but it's much easier now. Thanks for watching
