An update on the photos as a number of you have asked. Ben the photographer is working through them, as he is volunteering his time to do this it does take a while so we hope you can bear with us. We provide all the pictures for free and will announce on our social channels when they're available.

This year's competitor and volunteer surveys have gone out. We're always looking at ways we can improve the High Peak 40, and listening to your feedback is part of that. All responses are anonymous so please do feed back as much as you can.
