    Stolly Hill Runs 2010

    Apologies in advance. I couldn't make my mind up until now whether to do this again or not but I've now decided to post pictures of good run outs, probably sticking to half decent weather when I can actually see some half decent views, and then only if the pictures cut the mustard. I'll try and cut out the bloggy waffle, I promise, and keep it sharp and tidy

    Ingleborough from Clapham – 31/01/10

    10 miles ~ 1900 feet

    Clapham --> Long Lane --> open fell to Full Beck Head below Simon Fell --> Ingleborough --> Little Ingleborough --> Gaping Gill --> over the top parallel to Trow Gill --> Ingleborough Cave --> Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail --> Clapham


    Looking back on my route up from Full Beck Head (with Pendle on the horizon)




    Whernside, Blea Moor and a teeny weeny Ribblehead Viaduct from the edge of Ingleborough




    Morecambe Bay from the top of Ingleborough




    Ingleborough trig with Pen Y Ghent on the horizon

    Some of us appreciated the bloggy waffle . The snaps are the bees knees too.

    Sorry for bringing up the 'dim & distant past', but I'm only reading this thread for the first time

    It's got more 'up & down' that you'd actually think, with all the sand-bars that reform with every tide.

    I ran the 'Cross-Bay Challenge' last year, & I'd reckon that some of the smaller channels (not the big ones, like the Kent, or Keer) were approaching 10 foot deep.


    Okay, I know it's not a huge variation, but not what you'd expect to find on what is basically a beach - if a very big, scary, one!

    My default 6 mile run out back over High Hill and Warrendale Knotts

    A nice run this evening (apart from the dog rolling in poo that is ) with a couple of nice pictures to boot....

    Stolly, I just caught up with your stuff. The photos are giving me SO much pleasure, and I'm very glad to have the route suggestions - could gladly use a bit more detail in them - hope to do some of them for real sometime when my long run is a bit longer! Finally, I love the cat - sometimes sit and watch him all through his repertoire. Well, no wonder I never have enough time - for running OR housework.
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
