You are welcome to take Tooleyshaw if a slow time is required, It's a lot rougher and boggier and will cost you big time.

There is a slightly different route every year dropping down sliddens, it takes you to a different stile (one of three) to cross a fence to stop a permanent path forming on reseeded ground, it adds no distance on at all. this section is always marked and must be followed.
