3 up on t'moor

Turned up to Harriers on a fine evening and having decided to take the trip with a bigger social group, got chatting to my mate Brian fresh in the way only Brian can be fresh from the 3 Peaks race at the weekend and up for a wee run on the moor - so Brian collared another companion - Ben and off we trotted.
Up through the houses, along towards Addingham Moorside, then up to Black Hill/Wingate Nick and we all got bigged up about how fantastic it is up on the moor and how wonderful it is to live in Ilkley - the usual drill - which was an excuse to stop and look.
Plenty banter now we could breath we contoured round then picked up the pace down the path, with Brian taking us off on "paths" that he wanted to show us which Ben and I couldn't see and reckoned he was just wanting us to beat down for his use later.
So one of those runs with good company, enjoying the beauty of Ilkley Moor, and the joy of summer evening running.
10.6km, 1:05, 900ft ascent and bit of joy thrown in
