About this picture …

The ‘Long Drag’ can be the last stage of the SAS endurance test in the Brecon Beacons; a relentless uphill gradient on the Settle-Carlisle Railway; and (pictured here) also an old mining road which once carried lead from the Allendale mines over Allendale Common to Whitley Chapel and Hexham.

Long Drag

Make words using the letters shown in the grid. Your words should be four or more letters in length. All your words must include the highlighted letter in the centre. Tap on any letter to use it for your word.
