Report
The route was very dry for February with 50% or more of the route on roads making for a quick round. The highlights were the views over the valley, Oakworth Hall and getting charged by a herd of apprehensive sheep. I ran it as a marathon training run and felt good throughout so increased the pace a bit for the last 10k. The route saves the hardest climb but also the best descents until the end.
I took a backpack with 1 L of lucozade and some gels.
