At last! I have finally got my act together and trundled all the way to Great Dun Feel and, naturally, up it. In the interest of avoiding an annoying, out-and-back type route, and also to do my one and only double century for the year, I thought it would be a good idea to go out there the flattish way and come back over Tan Hill and Fleak Moss, the very-much-not-remotely-flat way. Great route and, once the morning chill had gone, a really nice day. It was pretty chilly up Great Dun Fell, or coming down it anyway, but that's hardly unreasonable really.
Great Dun Fel doesn't do altitude profiles much good though. Generally, the latter half of this would look properly spiky, essentially since it's relentlessly hilly from Brough onwards, where I started rolling up Tan Hill. Attach the big pointy thing in the first half, however, and the rest looks .... well, like undulations really. Amusing though.

) audax event which takes place on the first or second Sunday of October. Over the past 12 years I would say there have been 6 editions in lovely conditions, but some of the other 6 were truly horrible and the main reason why I used the word 'usually' rather than 'always'!
