    This has got to be a good one for a caption competition. Any thoughts?

    I may do this as I'm over Manchester way next weekend. Is there a route anywhere?

    Re: Mount Famine Fell Race

    This was asked a few years ago. Unless the course has changed, here was the most useful response:

    Start at foot of Elle Bank (SK 045 866) and climb to top (flagged
    section). Bear left to follow path by wall and follow wall round to
    the right. Bear left to cut off corner of wood and descend through
    trees to path to descend to gate (052868). Through gate and turn
    right uphill and proceed along ridge path (Dragon's Back) to summit of
    Mount Famine (056849). Continue downhill to cross stile and descend
    to bridleway (058846). Cross bridleway and ascend to summit of South
    Head (060845) then bear slightly left to descend to bridleway again
    (062846).

    Descend Dimpus Clough leaving path at flagged section near 061851 and
    turn left to reascend following stream uphill. Bear right near 059849
    to climb back up to stile below Mt Famine (056848). Retrace route
    over Mt Famine back to gate at 052868. Straight ahead at gate to
    descend on bridleway past Stones House and on past start. Follow
    bridleway then road (Valley Rd) back towards Hayfield. Turn right then
    left (marshalled) at 040867 to enter Recreation Ground and cross
    bridge then turn right to finishing straight and finish at 038868.

    A great little race. Lantern Pike Dash is also a cracker (but don't fall in the badger's sett). Enjoy!
