Smugglers Way.

Point to Point race with three checkpoints. I'd planned to only take water from each, carrying all my own nutrition and quite a lot of mandatory kit! 

 

Beautiful day for it, the Moors were dry but quite spongy in a lot of places which made it tough going over Brown Willy. 

 

There was a lot more tarmac than I'd realised, in hindsight I'd have probably used some different shoes!
