Hi all,

I'm just coming back to running after having on and off injuries for almost the last two years. I've done quite a bit of road and trail running up to marathon distance but over the last few weeks I've begun running on the moors around Bolton and have loved it so I'm just after a bit of friendly advice for a beginner!

I'd like to know if anybody knows anything about the club's in the area, I've heard good things about a couple but does anyone know if any clubs are particularly geared up for fell running?

And are there any areas nearby that are particularly worth a visit? I've done a few loops around Winter Hill/Two Lads/Rivington Pike starting at the Belmont Road side, a bit up on Darwen moor out to the tower and then up on the moor north of Winter Hill with Spitlers Edge and Great Hill (I think it's called that). I'm enjoying the exploring but any pointers on places to run would be much appreciated!

Cheers for reading and thanks for any help!
