"Flooded area"? Can you be more specific?
Seriously though, lots of waterlogged ground - terrific!
We were being asked to continue for another 1.3K beyond Soldiers Lump before turning off for Sliddens.
I ran this last Friday and it was horrendous.
The best route for all concerned, UU and runners, is to got beyond the "flooded area" where you will see a mound of peat covered in small stones on the north side of the paving slabs. Turn left south st this point and pick up a small trod for 50 metres where another small trod crosses it. Turn right on this second trod which will bring you to the rickety stile at the top of Crowden Little Brook and nearly the start of the path down Sliddens.
The ultimate aim is to avoid damage to ANY newly seeded parts of the peat, namely before the flooded area.
This flooded area is just after a paving slab with 2 iron cleats in it, approx. 80 metres past Soldiers Lump trig.
If in doubt go on Pennine Way until long established grass is on the left (south) side of slabs.
This is imperative if we are not to jeopardise the future of the Trog.
