'Morning prayers' A run to the Priests Hole

This blogs header picture was taken in Cumbria last July(2009). We had stayed up in the lakes for a camping holiday, after the Saunders.

A couple of days staring at the hills around the Sykside campsite http://www.sykeside.co.uk/. I could bear it no longer,  creaking bones and stiff  muscles or not, it was time for a run.


So it was up High Hartsop Dodd.

looked down at the sleeping campers.

Along Black Brow, saying "hey up!" to the sheep. You can take the man out of Derbyshire But not the Derbyshire out of the man. Its a sheep thing.

 On to Dove Crag

   On to Dove Crag and the Priests Hole. Signed the guest book.




Then just followed the path down Dovedale, to the campsite.

  3. Hey up Stuart

    On a Harveys Map its the crag at GR 375 109.

    As I dropped down from dove crag there was a group of walkers coming up Dovedale and I asked directions(The shame).

    It may be easier to see if you start from dovedale.

    Cheers

    Hi uc
    No but I once used a bar of dove soap. Does that count?

    I will leave the Ultras to you.
