If you thought the Trollers was good have ago at this one ....
Nr Otley West Yorkshire, starts close to Fewston Res, over Roundhill and beamley beacon, down to bolton Abbey, then back over the moors to Thruscross REs and back down the river washburn to teh usual feed at the end - 25miles (no shorter) with about 4000ft of climb. Did it in just over 4hrs last year.
Much more satisfiying than the boring old Baildon Boundry Way - on the same day
It is a good one. Done it twice I think. The view from the top of the hill looking down onto Bolton Abbey is just great. It's been lovely sunny when I've done it. Unfortunately I can't do it this year.

chris, i wont get time for a reccy, how well marked is it (or not) or do you need to be able to use a map well or expected to know the route (or be able to keep up with someone that hopefully does) and do a lot of people run it?
cheers

There's been quite a few runners when I've done it. You start an hour later then the walkers so not great crowds at the start. I think it's fairly easy to find your way. Not too many fiddly bits!
Good no of runners last year - 25 or more and a very easy route. I'll let you have the cp refs when i get on my pc
cheers for that chris would appreciate it, i am seriously thinking off having a try. what time does it set off and from where. I emailed the conatct name you gave but havent heard anything yet re details
s it feasible to pull out at the cp if neccessary?
