Shelf Stones trig point

A ~2 hour off-road run over high moorland to Higher Shelf Stones. The link below suggests a suitable route. We can do a small diversion to visit the US Air Force Superfortress bomber wreck near here where the views should be fantastic in the bright sunlight (maybe). See map below:-

A few pics from today's glorious run, crowned by a visit to the best value cafe in the region, if not the Universe. Thanks for organising Tux.
