The Sandstone Way North Ultra offers runners an opportunity to run the first 70 miles of this 120 mile Way Marked Trail. The Sandstone Way route runs from the very top to to the heart of Northumberland. Starting in Berwick Upon Tweed and finishing in Rothbury, this section of the course is very runnable. The Sandstone Way has been developed as a Mountain Bike trail that is designed to be ridden in three to four days or 2 days by the “fit and fast.” If ever there was a statement to get an ultra runner going then that is surely it. The Sandstone Way North course also provide 3 UTMB points.

Intersting sandstone patterns along the White Rocks Loop Trail, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada. Note the discontinuities in the lower right.

Cougar hand painted in acrylic on a pretty piece of sandstone by Greta Schneider, Copper Creek Designs. The natural sandstone patterns create the perfect landscape. Sandstone art for sale at Zion Prospectors Rock Shop in Springdale, Utah near the entrance to Zion National Park.

AN area just above the Wave has some very nice brain rocks with quite pleasant swirls patterns. Too bad the angles where very limited as the sky was just awful - a white monotone mass.
