    I ran this several times in the early 1990's - it's mostly off road with not quite enough climb for a proper fell race - started and finished with a dash up the village main street. Seemed to be plenty of fellrunners doing it - nice atmosphere and the village pub used to be pretty good!

    Thanks for the reply Welsh Harrier.

    Think I will wait and see what the weather forecast is next week, then do either this one, Wormstones on the Wednesday or Pilsley on the Thursday...

    Excellent, didn't know this existed. we used to use taddington hill as a good training ride when i was with the cycling club. That hill goes on forever!! Never drive into the sand traps as my mate did, they certainly work!!

    It's got to be Wormstones - that'll be a proper fell race.
