    Bolton: where to run?

    Tomorrow sees me in Bolton for an early meeting. I reckon I'll be done by about 1 so I am thinking about getting an hour or two on a hill before heading back home. I've never run around there and was thinking about Winter Hill? Suggestions please?

    If you are on Facebook, get on the Winter Hill Fell Runners Group, I'm sure there will be plenty of suggestions. My own suggestion is this: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/405302654 this: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/69203321 or this : http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/427994257

    Thank you, I'll have a look and see what the weather is doing tomorrow. A new hill for me - how exciting!

    Only had an hour so parked at the cr park on the Belmont Road and ran past a tower and then onto rivington pike, up winter hill and then a direct line across the moor back to the car park. 50 mins and very enjoyable. Nice to bag a new peak

    I'm not sure although it would appear that it's called the Pigeon tower?
