I'm aware that the route might be different this year, but I've decided to go and reccy last year's route. I want to make sure I get it at least vaugely right....

7) Higger Tor North Summit 257802

I'm confused by this GR's given on the internet last year - checkpoint 7 is listed as "Higger Tor North Summit", but the reference points to somewhere nearer Owler Tor. Given that this would mean a very dangerous road crossing (twice), I assume that the real location is 257822, meaning a return up to Higger Tor? That would make more sense.

If it was 257822, does anyone know what the sensible return route to Houndkirk Hill is? I'd assume it would be dropping back down past Carl Wark, over the bridge and back up to Houndkirk Road, but I wonder if I'm missing a cleverer route?

If everyone does drop back to Carl Wark, aren't there traffic problems with people running in the other direction?

Hope you can help, I'm bad at map reading!
