I'm planning to run Colne-Rowsley in a couple of weeks so thought I'd reignite this old thread. I read Mike Cudahy's book recently and was inspired to give it a go, it starts close to home and looks like a classic route down the spine of the South Pennines/Dark Peaks. Both this thread and Mike's book have been very helpful and I've reccied the first half, however any further advice would be very gratefully received!

Hopefully the current dry weather is making the peat a lot drier than it was when I was out last week!
