Six Dales Circuit

Grantham Running Club members, Peter Jennings and Paul Rushworth traveled to the Peak District to participate in the annual Six Dales Circuit event.  The 25 mile route began in the picturesque village of Biggin, runners then visited Biggin Dale, Wolfscote Dale, Beresford Dale, Lathkill Dale, Bradford Dale and Long Dale, before returning to the village hall. Conditions on the day of the event were ideal for endurance running with sunshine occasionally breaking through the grey cloud base. The trails were surprisingly dry given the recent rain. Peter and Paul navigated together, returning to Biggin in a time of 4 hours and 44 minutes.
