Go SW on good track to Bolton Park Fm and down road to wooden br. Do not cross br, turn L on Dales Way. Cross ford, leave road after 30m R back on to Dales Way. Stay high till gate.

    The route is quite simple to follow and has several long sections which don't deviate much. It's a good (and surprisingly runnable) route :thumbup:

    I second that!:thumbup:

    I'm thinking the "Then ESE thru bog to standing stone" section might be a tad damper than it was last year!:w00t:

    I'd say the bit from the Wharfe to Storiths and the bit from Timble back to the reservoir are the trickiest. Assuming clear conditions of course.

    Without me you'd be one place nearer the back

    You are right of course socks, though in my defence I just displayed sheep-like behaviour and followed all the 25+ runners who were ahead of me at that time!

    **For others reading this thread the 'cut across the field' was all on PROW's so no breaking of the country code was involved!
