Stags route challenge

These photos illustrate the route in the forum. They are in order taken on the route. Best conditions are a light to moderate southerly. Good landings are possible along the whole route. You don't need a large amount of height to make the transitions between ridges but a little thermal helps. The run east to Nappa has a ridge half way that helps. You may arrive low at Nappa but it does work from quite low down. The final run east from Nappa follows shallow edges and leads forward to a grassy round-topped outcrop (Ivy Scar) that soars. With a few hundred feet gained here it allows an easy run into good fields near Capperby. Plenty of fields but avoid crop and stock. All points of the route are served by pubs.
