Higgar Tor run

Written by Haydn Williams

Becs and I took the dog for a wander around Padley Gorge this morning, then I acted in a most ungentlemanly manner and left them to fend for themselves while I went for a run. From the top of the gorge I went over to Surprise View, over Higgar Tor and back along the tops of Burbage North and South.

Despite a horrible forecast, it was lovely up there and still incredibly warm. Nice and quiet along the tops too, although there were a fair few climbers at Burbage North. This loop was what I had in mind as an initial target when I started running, so I guess I’ll have to set my sights on something else now!
