Just short of 5 miles around Castleford. Ironically my penultimate weekly visit there (daughter, rugby training which finishes next week) and I finally manage to suss out a great little off road route.
approx 14 miles 2000ft.
A run round the Mickledon Straddle route. The climb up Cut gate was desperate in to a very strong head wind, then went clockwise round the route a much nicer run I think. the Climb up from Slippery Stones was a delight as I hopped from one foot to the other with the wind blowing me up the hill, I've never gone up there so fast
Total time 2.27
Met a lady from Denby Dale grinding her way up on the out ward leg and past an older 'runner' heading down to SS wearing trail shoes proper trousers(crease an all) and collared shirt with a black jacketis this the clothing of the future?

No tie though Ady - standards are obviously slipping in the Peak! It is dress down Friday mind
Hour or so run out on one of my favourite bits of the Dales Way - Barden Bridge to Burnsall
A lovely run.......... but how flat is that?Hour or so run out on one of my favourite bits of the Dales Way - Barden Bridge to Burnsall
Quite flat but not entirely Stolly or the river wouldn't flow!A lovely run.......... but how flat is that?
Quite flat but not entirely Stolly or the river wouldn't flow!I stand corrected. I just checked the contours on the map - 122 metres at Bardon climbing to a vertigo inducing 156 metres at Burnsall. All the same I love running along the Wharfe.
Yep, lovely place...shame I'll be too fat to do the Trollers Trot next year!
It's worth it for the veg chilli and wedges afterwards!
I will be ready to burst by then tho!
