came back via centre vale/tod/kilnhurst/withins gate.

last year I did leg 4, we set off from Blackshaw Head with three teams about 300m behind us we followed the Calderdale way to SD 9853 2779 just before Heptonstall and turned left following the 'Way' we went passed the church to the descent (as the hobble) but at the road crossing the other 3 teams joined us by taking a short cut down the road is this a reconised route?

I'm on this leg again and don't want to lose out.

This is very lazy....BUT....are there any maps anyone may have for Leg 3.

Not sure but we did go past the church following the signs but 300m was alot to catch up in a short time. (one of the groups we dropped tanother got away from us but it took another 5 miles for them to do that)

I think they cut up to the road at cross hill and ran down the road.

Is this a permitted short cut??
