    I have driven past the village where you live a few times, it is a great spot, views are fantastic, and what a good place if you like running, walking, biking etc.

    From Street there is a bridleway that takes you almost to the summit plateau, when you reach the top gate go through it and follow the shoulder on to the plateau. Keeping the drop on your left run to the far corner collection of cairns (do not cross any fences). Almost turn back on yourself but follow the trod to the summit cairn. When you reach the cairn just throw yourself off the edge and head down to a river crossing you went over on your way up the bridleway. Then head back down the track the way you came up. It is essential that you return to the river crossing as this is your final checkpoint and everyone is counted off the fell.

    Hope this makes sense any questions just get in touch.

    P.S It is a must to attend the prizegiving at the Fat Lamb pub as there are numerous spot prizes some of which are better than the winners prize!

    Wahey, thanks for that.

    One of the spot prizes is a weeks half board for one at Pyrenees Haven, flights and transfer not included!

    Awesome Debbie thanks, looks like a good course and i can see why theNoor says people get lost a lot on the top. Will definitely go to the bun fight.
