Where r u going? (follow up to

where have you been). Pesky character limit!


Lucky for me I dont live far from some super fells so I can go whenever I want, especially in the long summer evenings when there are fewer tourists/walkers around.

Next outing on the cards is a sortie over Skiddaw from Fitz Park and down to the old Youth Hostel then back along the Skiddaw/Blencathra valley and along the old railway to return.
It's a route i often do on my own but in a couple of weekends time theres a Triathlon training camp based at Grasmere so there will be loads of people to run with. I'm hoping to learn 'all about using my compass and map' then, who knows I may even get along to a race one day.

I also intend to do the Patterdale - St Sunday - Fairfield - Grizedale Tarn - Dollywagon - Helvellyn - Glenridding route that I failed due to bad weather recently.

Anyone elso got owt planned? Perhaps this could be a good way to team up with others for some of the longer runs?

Never heard of any of them.

Since I've lived in our new Bacup house I've fancied doing a route round the three trig points, Top of Leach, Knowle Hill and Cowpe Lowe. I think I'll have a go tomorrow.

There must be plenty of fellrunners who know what you are on about.

How did you get on? I used to run a similar route regularly years ago when I lived in Turn.

count yourself lucky that your all near fells

my route today took in the lingerie factory, red lion pub, trowell church, trowell moor ( this is not really a moor :mad: ) bramcote estate, then 9 more featureless miles back home

I wimped out of it this morning. From here to Top of Leach is crap and churned up by motor bikes unless you go a long way round and I couldn't face it this morning.

It would be better from your house Roger Rabbit. We'll get the White Holme Circular out of the way then have a go after that. About 9 miles I reckon but a bit of a slog.
