Mountain Man and I are doing a 16 mile-ish recce/circuit of the up and coming HH. We plan to do a nice and steady pace taking in the start and finish sections.
Meeting at the Community centre at 8.15 am.
If anyone fancies a run with us we'll see you there!
Don't worry! Chief navigator is MM so you will be in safe hands!

I would have loved to, but i'm taking my mate running in bowland sunday and as a beginner, 16 miles is a bit too much for him. However, i would not trust MM's navigation ability:p:DQuote:

Do you know something I don't about MM? I have even started calling him "Yoda" as he seems all wise, all knowing and pretty savvy when it comes to route choice?? We'll see how he fares this Sunday!!
Anyway, hope to run again with you soon,

Mostly tracks/decent paths.Some muddy bits just before golf course at Tod and on way down from Stoodly Pike.Quote:

Yes this is probably as good as the going gets for a 32 mile fell race with just a few short boggy sections - notably after the descent of Stoodley Pike - otherwise its good tracks and paths all the way. Be warned that the second half has some long uphill sections so don't overdo the first half!Quote:
