Er... going to the hairdressers doesn't count as training

I did an absolutely georgeous autumnal run this morning - from Bolton Abbey village hall down and north along the river Wharfe through the woods, past the Strid to Barden Bridge, over the bridge and continuing along the Wharfe, past the campsite to Daleshead farm, through the gate and up a c. 400 metre zig zag ascent to Simon's Seat, a boggy, rocky run along the top of the moor before descending to the valley of desolation and back to the Wharfe, through the woods overlooking the Bolton Abbey ruins, down to the river, over the stepping stones and back to where I started.

Something like 13 miles I'd guess - I did it in 1 hour 47 anyway. Brilliant run either way.

Superb run that Stolly.

Watch out for the ramps on the road along the riverside down by the Cavendish Pavilion. I came a cropper on one this summer.

If you mean those sleeping policeman, I tend to run on the grass beside the road (but even then there are the car parking area logs to watch out for). On the bit to Cavendish I guess I ought really to run the other side of the river anyway but I just like the full circuit with no ground covered twice. I do take the top path to the Strid which includes a lettle chug up a zig zag path just into the woods after Cavendish to make it just a tad harder

You're right though, its a fantastic run.

2 hours 20 with Emma, Dave & Shirley from Roddlesworth over Great Hill and Spitlers Edge to Winter Hill.
(Nearly lost Shirley in a bog!) Back through Belmont and around the reservoir.
Followed by full breakfast in Vaughn's Cafe watching the birds.
