Maclennane Jan 2019 3:50pm, 2 Jan 2019 20,418 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane I don't think I've ever tried, there's a fairly busy road on the East side. Get up some bloody hills!
Cavey Jan 2019 3:55pm, 2 Jan 2019 10,957 posts	Quote Pin Cavey I love Ladybower. Have run round that dozens of times. Its 15 miles if you do a full loop.
Joopsy Jan 2019 3:55pm, 2 Jan 2019 8,907 posts	Quote Pin Joopsy Im happy with hills Mac, just trying to make it as straight forward as possible. Ill probably go with a couple of your loops.
Cavey Jan 2019 3:58pm, 2 Jan 2019 10,958 posts	Quote Pin Cavey Although technically what I used to run around is Howden and Upper Derwent Reservoirs. If you park at Fairholmes, and then just head out along the road as far as the Slippery Stones, and then back along the other bank.
Joopsy Jan 2019 4:01pm, 2 Jan 2019 8,908 posts	Quote Pin Joopsy Thanks mate. I do like the idea of Macs second route twice which would give me some badly needed hills and around 2.5k ft of ascent. Lots of walking in there for me but a good day out. Ive got about six hours to kill so give me time to get up and back in the car and 5 hours to get round.
Cavey Jan 2019 4:04pm, 2 Jan 2019 10,959 posts	Quote Pin Cavey Yeah, that route looks good. Might have to save that one for later in the year!
Maclennane Jan 2019 4:08pm, 2 Jan 2019 20,419 posts	Quote Pin Maclennane It is the better of the two, and you get to look from Stanage Edge out to Lose hill (twice) which is officially* the best view in the world. *depending on whose view you regard as official
