Staveley 10km road run

A 10km road run to avoid sodden off-road paths.

Route: from the Mill Yard, Staveley along School Lane and Brow Lane to join the noisy A591 as far as Ings. Through the village as far as the Watermill and then turning left gradually gaining altitude on a gated country road. Turning left again at the end of the road and descending before another left turn and rising to the summit of the run with views of snow-covered fells. Then descending via the Crook Road back into Staveley.

Conditions: Initial warm sunshine, later cloud. (After the run, rain.)

Pub: The Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley, for Jingle Fells and Cumbrian Five Hop.
