Ogden Water and Ovenden Moor
Maybe 4 miles and 350 feet of climb. Route here
A cracking little run out while daughter #2 was rugby training this evening. I didn't have much time or otherwise I would have hacked further into the moors up top but on a damp, overcast but humid evening it was lovely, as well as kind of spooky, running through the woods, over the moor top and back down and around the reservoir. There was hardly anyone else there either which added to the serenity and almost silent beauty of it all.

Brilliant, thanks Stolly. If you published all these accounts in guide book, I'd buy a copy & would enjoy ticking them all off over the course of a year or so, I dont know your area well at all. You could call it Stollys round, send a certificate of completion designed like a beer map to all who complete them, the pubs will ring with the cry of 'Stollys Round' upon each successful completion!
Seriously, really enjoy reading your accounts & the pics, thanks....
A trot out from Malham
Maybe as much as 4 miles and about 500 ft of climb :)
Malham --> Janets Foss --> Malham Cove --> Malham - route here
A lovely run with the Hazmeister tonight around what is to be fair a fairly well trodden route. Great fun all the same made hilarious at times by Harry's antics. He had great fun charging into Janet's Foss chasing sticks and had a temporary mental flip chasing ducks through the beck below Malham Cove. He cruises runs of this distance now and, when he does chose to sprint (typically on downhill bits over broken ground) I have real trouble keeping up.

Wot no simonside? :-(
good stuff mate - pics that remind me, down here in the city, why I do it
Simonside Cairns Northumberland - the fell race route but from Lordenshaws carp park
Circa 8 miles and 1,200 ft
My route and the Northumberland fell runners full race map
I had to go to Morpeth today for a work meeting and, afterwards, I scooted up towards Rothbury to have a trot around the greater part of the Simonside Cairns fell race route. I have to come up here every now and then for work and last time in January or February I'd asked Freckle, one of the forums token north easteners, for a good run to do while I was at it. She recommended this route but I was then snowed off and hadn't been able to get up there since. Anyway I was back again today on a really warm afternoon (TO weather in fact as Ady would say) and enjoyed a lovely hack round. The first half of the route is open moorland running all the way to a distant forested corner and then on the second side of the triangle its more of the same but now on a seldom used heather and fern covered narrow footpath with the final side completing the triangle being a ridge run over Simonside and other lumps and bumps. It was fantastic open running with massive views to the south and all around once I was on the ridge and, although the route was largely dry, I suspect running this in the winter or after lots of rain would be supremely muddy - I just have to go back and do it again in the pissing rain in November in fact. Absolutely brilliant despite losing the path for 5 minutes at one point and getting scratched to buggery by the heather.
