Thanks Tim. I'm planning a go at this tomorrow, as a last long run before the Saunders. I've just been measuring on MemoryMap, & the road route picking up the A53 at Flash is about a mile shorter than going via Gradbach, & saves about 100m of climbing. I'm thinking of going over the Oliver Hill path north from Flash although it'll be slower than the A53, just to avoid the main road. Is there a runnable path along the southern part of the Axe Edge ridge, from Axe Edge End to the Dane Head minor road? I was thinking of taking the A53 just for this bit in case I'd be flogging through heather or bracken without a path.
