    Bronte Way is point to point. Wycoller to Haworth. Mostly trail though.

    ....with an excellent finish. Straight up the cobbly road in Haworth and into the Fleece for a refreshing pint of Timothy Taylors!

    Hmm, don't know about "great" but enjoyed these 'toughies' in my time :

    - Mt Famine
    - Borrowdale
    - Edale Skyline

    The "Two Breweries" is a cracking upland journey - something like 18 miles across the Southern Uplands!

    "Kilnsey, same as Burnsall, but with abseiling on the descent.

    Good show as well."

    I would have given Kilnsey a shout too, for the show, the whole atmosphere, the crag, the commentary...the entire race easily visible from the field and over in under a jiffy. There has always been something magical about it for me....probably because it was the first fell race I ever watched as a little kid. For a sadistic giggle, watching from the bottom of the "chimney" was always fun.
