Aggies Staircase Fell Race
From: Punstock Road, Darwen. GR689221 4 miles
with 1150 feet of climb including three climbs of Darwen Moor.
Starting at the top of Punstock Road, the route climbs a footpath,
turns right onto the track past Robin Hoods cottage, then left to
follow an enclosed footpath to the main track, and left up to Darwen
Tower.
It then descends through the small quarry onto the main track
towards the top of Bold Venture Park, before turning right to climb
steeply up a rough path known as Jacobs Ladder, then across the moor
top, and on down to the foot of Aggies Staircase.
Aggies Staircase is the shortest but steepest of the three climbs,
and from the top you will return just below the Tower, and then
descend the way you first came up towards Sunnyhurst. At the gate at
the bottom turn right, retracing your steps; continue past Robin
Hoods cottage, then turn left down the path to the finish at the top
of Punstock Road.
The race is held under FRA rules, race category BS.
