One of the challenges that I've been meaning to do for ages. Nice route,a few paths I haven't done before. Tough climb up from the river to Pym Chair in the road. Nice run through the rocks and then down/up to Whaley Moor, then a bit of trespass to come out in the right place. Only lost for 30s or so.
Then sudden heavy rain on the moor, coat on, slippery rocks. Stopped within 5 mins.
Terrible choice tussocky corner cut above Lyme culminated in a 12ft, barbed wire-topped wall climb. But from there was lovely until started raining again, decided against the coat, but then it was apocalyptic and I had to run with my hands as a visor the rain was pelting down so hard. Finished up totally drenched and freezing.
But happy.
