Saddleworth Fell Race 

(Results)

From Tanners Mill, Greenfield, Saddleworth, 6th June 2004

This is a great course for a shorty.  It begins from Tanners Mill, goes up the road and up through a well kept private garden with about 10 million flags on it.  I half expected Julie Andrews to appear in full voice at this point, but she didn't.  Then its up a steep climb to be greeted by stunning views. Left around the flag and its up and down for a while, then a VERY steep grassy descent to the Julie Andrews field and a fast run back.  Disappointing turn out in 2006, no idea why as its a cracker.
