The Muddy Track is not all mud but it never fails to yield rich swampy muck in parts, regardless of the weather. Nevertheless, it is another favourite – up through Wooler Common, then with Watch Hill and Fredden Hill on the right, the route offers options of a 3, 5 or 6-mile loop, coming back via Gains Law. There was plenty of running chatter against a scenic evening skyline, punctuated by a few yelps and gags from a clumsy knee-crushing tumble and a legendary fly-swallowing mishap.
