Trail running in Upper Nidderdale

You run the length of Gouthwaite Reservoir, one of the best birdwatching waters in the north, with the moors and old lead mines of upper Nidderdale rising on either side.

You start beneath the huge stone dam of Scar House and head out across the empty grouse moor at the very head of Nidderdale, about as remote as the Dales get.
