Haslingden Grane, Black course.
Well that was a bit of an epic! Mostly open moor plus some fun quarried bits (tricky on a 1:15000).
I enjoyed the first part, although it was quite tough running across the moor. There were then a couple of route-choice legs to c7 and c8 and I went straight-line. At the time I wasn't sure if this was a wise move or not. Picked the right route to c9 though :) Getting a bit tired on the long tussocky leg to c16 and lost a few minutes (in total) on 2 controls in the more technical stuff at the end.
