COOPE’S DOZEN – SATURDAY 25th JULY 2009

Posted on by

The annual running of this course will take place on Saturday the 25th July, starting at the Top Barn (GR 638149) at 9.00am and finishing at the same point. It is a social run and not a race.

There will be a support car at the start carrying drinks and other refreshments to Hordern Stoops (GR 655159 – about half distance) and at the top end of Anglezarke reservoir (GR 616179). Anyone wishing to have their particular concoctions or kit transported to the support points can hand them over before the start.

The summits to be visited are:

Noon Hill GR 647150
Pike GR 643138
Two Lads GR 655134
Whimberry Hill GR 686139
Egg Hillock GR 684142
Counting Hill GR 672142
Winter Hill GR 660149
Old Adam’s Hill GR 661174
Spittlers’ Edge GR 654174
Great Hill GR 646191
Round Loaf GR 638182
Healey Nab GR 607180

The distance is about 18 miles but, of course, it is reasonably convenient to do the first or second half only.

People usually split into fast and slow groups with the slow group taking at least four and a half hours, but at the discretion of the slowest member of the group. There is absolutely no pressure on anyone so why not give it a go?
