This is a markes and signed long distance path that seems to have been forgotten. Its just over 50km and is multi terain some tarmac but mostly trail and field edges. Some forest running too. Villages enabling resupply or water are about every 10 miles or so and except for one mile of pretty sketchy surroundings its surprisingly pretty. Even much of the time running through Scunthorpe is done in pleasant parks. Though once out of the town it's very rural. The OCW deserves to be better known. Come on Lads and Lasses, I'm not that fast, beat my time!
