This is a really good fell race route (just over 10km) which goes a short distance uphill on a track then joins the moorland and pathways for a long ascent to the top of Whittle Hill. This is followed by a good long descent, but a sting in the tail is a very steep late ascent about a mile from the end which calls for some deep digging. Then it is a blast down the track to the finish at the cricket club where there is good catering and bar in the pavilion.
