Bog standard Settle run
5 or so miles and 1000 ft give or take
Route
A lovely trot out last night just as dusk was closing in. The ground was sodden after a day long deluge of rain but everything was stunning last thing with the sky gradually going a beautiful azure colour, red tinged by the setting sun. As is usual when running with Harry, just when you think he's had a nice run and is having a much deserved drink and rest, he sees a rabbit sprint from cover and pelts after it, along with 3 others who were startled to join in, and bang goes Harry (and the 4 rabbits) all disappearing right to the top of one of the Limestone buttresses over-looking Attermire Scar.... with me begrudgingly trotting/clambering along behind. It was pretty much full on night time by the time we were back down, leaving us both still a couple of miles from home and no head torch either. Good fun though

Harry looks a right character I bet he keeps you on your toes.
The Stolly version of the Settle Loop
Maybe 12 miles and 1,800 ft
Route here
A fabulous run out on a gorgeous morning...
Looking back towards Settle after the first bit of the climb up towards Lambert Lane
Further up, looking back down through the Stockdale valley towards High Hill and Settle beyond. Rye Loaf Hill on the left.
At the crest of the run with Malham Tarn ahead and in the far distance Buckden Pike and Great Whernside
A view along my route out from the trig on Warrendale Knotts, with Stockdale to the right and Rye Loaf Hill in the distance

Lovely.
Looks like you had a touch of frost there on the sheltered western side Stolly. Where's Harry![]()
