Yeah it is Ian.
And thanks DT, one of my faves so far this year.
If only my phones battery lasted more than 10 mins taking pictures I'd have lots to show..

My account of a run over the Bowland Fells from Lancaster to Bentham (including a worrying amount of road running!): http://www.samharrison-ml.co.uk/blog...ia-wards-stone
Sam, you can make that more of an off-road route in several ways:-Quote:

Off White Hill cross the high point of the road at Cross o' Greet and up to Great Harlow then L down the fence line and over Burn Moor. Swing another L across Loftshaw Moss (Bowlands best bog!!) and hit the Cross o' Greet road by the Great Stone of Four Stones. It's only about a mile on the road down to Bentham station.
It used to be the "run home" for a prominent, fell-running prof at LUniversity when he lived in the environs of Bentham.
4 weeks to go

Cheers for the suggestions Ian, sounds much more friendly underfoot! In my defence, the two guys I was with are predominantly road runners and they chose the route...Quote:

It was a stretch, loved it but walked the last mile up cow lane.
Have been doing 4 runs per week for last month so feeling ready to step up.
Did 3 days in May (slowly) this weekend and feeling rejuvenated off the back of it.
Would love to reccie Edale Skyline with you over next 2 months if apt - will be in touch.
Congratulations on your new PT credentials too!
Thats great stuff cyclops. Here's my run around the 3 Peaks from SaturdayQuote:

I don't actually have much weekend time to get over there though....are you free weekdays anytime? My plan for a second half recce would be to park in Edale and 'simulate' the first half with the climb up to Mam Nick!Quote:

Very soggy but lovely run round the Ennerdale valley as the racers were tackling the bad-weather alternative route.
