"I guess that you went to the Buttertubs to see the PWA7C Cumbria Run that started in Masham at 10.00am on Tuesday 11th. Last year it did go over the Buttertubs but this year it went south from Masham to Pateley Bridge then up Greenhow Hill to Buckden, down to Hellifield then over the Trough of Bowland to the finish at Crooklands near Kendal."
Thanks Malcolm, yes that's the one. We saw it advertised as going through Butter Tubs this year, but whatever.
Yes we had a lovely run to Masham and Aysgarth to Butter Tubs, where it was a bit misty and nearly raining. Loved driving through Butter Tubs going north, so drove back the other way through Butter tubs again! and stopped on the tops for over 2 hours waiting for the parade of sevens. Puzzled, we went to Hawes to find a cafe, before heading for home.
I didn't do the route for the Cumbria Run this year, so it came as a bit of a surprise to me when I saw that we were not using Buttertubs! It was a pretty tough run, especially at the start tackling Greenhow Hill. Pleased to say that there were no breakdowns but some cars were getting a bit warm on the hills.
Thanks to the PWA7C Yorkshire Group for organising a most enjoyable event.
