What you’re in for
Twenty-four or seventeen miles of Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton moors in mid-February from Rivington village hall, with full winter kit, random kit checks and no dogs. Ten hours. A West Pennines classic. An LDWA challenge event, which means walkers and runners together, a route description to navigate by rather than tape, checkpoints with food and drink, and a meal at the end. Entry is through the LDWA's own system, places are limited, and the ones in this list tend to fill early.
Terrain and trail
Moorland: peat and tussock on Anglezarke and Winter Hill, reservoir track and stone-flagged path, the Pike, and the wooded terraced gardens above Rivington. February up there is wet, windy or frozen, hence the kit rules. A trail shoe with grip.
