Bull Hill Fell Race
(Location)
From Boardman's Farm, 10 minutes walk from Wagon & Horses, Hawkshaw, Bury.
2009 Update:
The route has now been modified slightly - it finishes in a different field, with the run to the end being quite uneven, further than you might think and pretty hard work. Still very enjoyable.
2007 -This is a little cracker of a course. The 2007 event was run on an autumnal summers evening with the clag down over the tops. Those looking forward to the usual smell of rotting sheep on the tops were not disappointed. The 120+ competitors were rewarded with a proper fell course with slippery grassy descents, paths that were part stream, mud, rocks, steep ascents (though no scrambles) and a fantastic blast down through a field at the end. Everyone I spoke to absolutely loved it. Chip butties at end were £1. Results on Tinternet the same evening. Not hard, but not easy either.
