 Description
The first half of the route out to the Drove Road drinks station is all fast running (or walking) on good surfaces. The second half is much tougher due to the rougher terrain, and general fatigue. The real difficulties begin just after Hare Hill, with lumpy heathery ground and sections of boggy marsh before Black Hill, followed by more rough terrain and a steep climb up Bell's Hill. This is where people's wheels tend to fall off. From Bell's Hill to the end is much easier, following a good path on short runnable grass, but fatigue and cramp can make this final section feel a bit of a struggle.
