    Will have to go back and get it sorted out
    Nice photos Bob. Looks good.

    It was a fabulous four hours out, the route is first class, if a trifle convoluted

    The view from the top of Stoodley was awesome.

    Thanks to Bob for the images and company!

    Hmmm. my 'shorter' route home over the last quarter only seemed to get me home ten minutes before you.

    Nice to see some pics Bob -- it peed-it down for most of Saturday and we were looking at the ground most of the way ;-)

    There seem to be two threads on this topic. Does anyone think they should be combined, if that's possible, or a new thread started under Long Distance Challenges maybe. Just a thought.

    I added the Good Friday thread to make the date of the run obvious so it did not get lost in the main thread. Other runs have been added here but it does not really matter. Sorry if it has confused things.

    After the Good Friday run I may do a summary of the "results" so far on the main thread. Anybody wanting to register their run can do so on either thread - I will pick it up.

    That was me and three mates - we got round in 3:26 with a 6.45am start We did it as a Three Peaks training session.
