I'm in the same boat MLCMM.
There are valleys I can follow; canal paths etc. But if you want to go most places it's up a steep hill eventually. I won't bore you with more pictures of steep cobbled roads but they are a feature of the South Pennine landscape. But like you I love hilly running. I think some of the early turnpike roads around here were surveyed by a chap called
Blind Jack of Knaresborough. And they are very A to B.
I remember Sydney to be very undulating. I cycled up West Head Road and around the northern beaches and into town a few times. Melbourne is altogether less demanding; except for the tram dodging.
The
only time I run at such hours is after jet-lag. I would love to be a morning person. But 7am seems to be the absolute earliest I can haul myself out of bed. And it still feels like the middle of the night.
