    Yeah it is Ian.
    And thanks DT, one of my faves so far this year.

    If only my phones battery lasted more than 10 mins taking pictures I'd have lots to show..

    My account of a run over the Bowland Fells from Lancaster to Bentham (including a worrying amount of road running!): http://www.samharrison-ml.co.uk/blog...ia-wards-stone

    Sam, you can make that more of an off-road route in several ways:-

    Once above the x-roads at Quernmore, take the public footpath L up Rowten Brook farm lane, through the farm and up Clougha, then the "ridge" to Grit Fell to pick up your route to Ward's Stone. Once over Ward's Stone, continue your route along the fence line and over Wolfhole Crag then L down another fence line to cross the Hornby Road / Salter Fell Track at "The County Gate" and up to the summit of White Hill. Off White Hill cross the high point of the road at Cross o' Greet and up to Great Harlow then L down the fence line and over Burn Moor. Swing another L across Loftshaw Moss (Bowlands best bog!!) and hit the Cross o' Greet road by the Great Stone of Four Stones. It's only about a mile on the road down to Bentham station.
    It used to be the "run home" for a prominent, fell-running prof at LUniversity when he lived in the environs of Bentham.

    Cheers for the suggestions Ian, sounds much more friendly underfoot! In my defence, the two guys I was with are predominantly road runners and they chose the route...
