I guess it must go up Dufton Pike Pinno. I absolutely love that part of the world, all the hills are like pyramids. :cool:

This was a new race in 2007 so not many will have run it. This was the 2007 course.

And there's a report on the SHR forum.

Came across this website with photos of High Cup Nick in the North Pennines - Cracking photos of the area.

Great Video Clip of High Cup Nick. Did this race last year, well organised and worth doing. Scenery is breathtaking!

You're just taking us for a ride.
Won't you be at Alton Towers that day?

Never raced in this area and have just checked my rota and I'm off so could be a goer. 5 weeks to get race fit.............

Aye, 'appen I will Swoop. How about you? :cool:

Any takers for this from the Lancashire area, looks a good scenic loop? Was going to do Standish trail but Sinatra reminded me of this yesterday.
Could car share if anyone is heading up the M6.
