Back along the top of Stanage (saw a few other runners coming the other way, don't know if they're on here), over Higgar Tor to Mother Cap. Down the lovely fast descent to Surprise View carpark, back through Longhaw estate then over Burbage south (had a chat with another runner about the shooting - anyone on here?) and across the moors back to the car. A touch over 11 miles, 2000 feet climbing, 2 hours. Other than the first bit, it was a great route - seriously windy on top of Stanage though, water was flowing off the edge, catching the wind and being blown back up in my face... I bet Kinder Downfall was spectacular today!

Dark peak have a club race round that very terrain this weekend, Add the climb over callow bank and crawl under Burbage bridge for good measure:D

No training for over two weeks. Weighed myself and seem to have acquired 4lb of extra muscle though :cool:............................:o

Back Thursday afternoon. Hope to have a run out in the evening ;)

This might lead to a need for re-hydration on Friday night ;):cool:

You plan your trips to perfection...:D

Didn't know that... been thinking of joining dark peak (and continually not getting round to it!) for a bit, is it possible to show up to the race and join on the day?

PM'ing you

2 hours trying to get lost on the fells in Bowland.

Accidentally stumbled upon Whins Brow Trig, was really surprised as there was no path to it, its just there!

Very short run tonight, but good. 1.5 miles in a bit under 20 minutes.... but it was my dog's first run since she's hurt her hip and no sign of a limp post run.

1 hour on the roads tonight at varying paces.
around 7.5 miles
