4 miles / 750'

While on a climbing trip to the Peak District I decided to do the Bradwell fell race. Most of the village turned out to watch and the traffic was stopped on the long initial road section, a big occasion for the village!

The start was FAST, and I knew not to try and keep up and this paid off as I picked off a few places on the main ascent up through the forest onto the top of the moors. A nice section of grassy off-road running followed by a very long rocky track leading down which was unpleasant on the feet. A better bit of rough descending led back to the final run in along the track and a loop of the huge playing field.

There was a really good atmosphere it was a lovely evening. Worth doing if you are down that way.
