Derby Tup Jun 2019 9:14pm, 18 Jun 2019 32,299 posts	0 Derby Tup I’d love to do it but think we’re going out for a social run with the club tomorrow. I was in Addingham today but cannot remember last time I was up the Beacon. Don’t think we’ve been up since we left the village October 2017
Northern Exile Jun 2019 9:28am, 19 Jun 2019 5,175 posts	0 Northern Exile PT still going bloody well. I have to say that the route is a work of art in its own way and although I imagine he pinched a good amount of it from SB, there are a lot of obvious off-piste, point-to-point bits that are brave and will be blinking rough underfoot. Chapeau. He's just crossing Trusmador between Meal Fell and Great Cockup and then heading south to grab Great Calva. He'll be going up Burn Tod [a Birkett] and although there is a trod of sorts (sheep?) on the shoulder, this is as rough as hell.

Dave A Jun 2019 9:48am, 19 Jun 2019 22,181 posts	0 Dave A I think PT will have looked at Birkenshaws route and modified it to his strengths. Jut as BGers do with their route choices. Parachute, Halls Fell, Doddick for example.
