Decided to run over a mix of old and new territory. Started at Clough House below Shutlingsloe then went up and over Shutlingsloe itself. Headed over to Teggs nose via Forest Chapel then from Teggs to Walker Barn. The unfamiliar bit was from Walker barn down to Lamaload reservoir then up to Shining Tor from the back. I bumped into Lantern Rouge going the opposite way before reaching Shining Tor. Although I had seen the name on the forum I didn't think I knew him. Turns out Simon and I were on the same leg of George Bate and Gerry Dewhursts BG.
From Shining Tor it was Cat & Fiddle, Danebower than back to the car via Cumberland Clough. Back at Clough house I met Dave Walker who had just been out on a short quick round.
A nice route and similar to Macc Harriers Handicap race route, according to Simon. Measures up as 13.7 miles and 2950 ft according to memory map. 2hours 45 of running 10minutes of talking.
