Met up with the WFDBWGUA folk this morning for a run in the rain. Seems to be a theme this week.
I was joined this morning by Ed, John, Hazel and Gordon.
We set off to Rivington Green then down to Dean Brook and towards Yarrow, then turned left down to Knowsley Lane. At the other side of the dam, we had to decide whether to go through the field or carry on along Knowsley Lane to Back Lane. The choice was easy for me - the field was full of cows! Ed was the only one who braved the cows and the rest of us went the less courageous road way.
We continued along to the farm then turned right and headed off to Healey Nab. We ran to the cairn on top of Healey Nab then made our way back down and along to White Coppice.
Gordon left us at this point as he's doing Kentmere tomorrow so wanted to preserve some energy for that.
The rest of us headed off to Great Hill and the conditions on top were awful. It had been raining for practically our entire run so far but it was still lovely and warm, however on top of Great Hill it was blowing a gale and raining quite heavily. Still, I refused to put my cag on because I knew I'd only have to take it off again five minutes later.
We went down off Great Hill and ran over to the ruins at Higher Hempshaws and then onto Rivington Road and along to Dangerous Corner.
From there we just ran back to the cars at the barn.
Total distance - 11.2 miles
