Thought I would share with you a tough 16 mile walk I did round Bleaklow today.
Thought I take a couple of days off work with good weather given and before the easter holidays rush.
Alport Castles
Moorland near the trig point of Westend Moor
By time I had reached Bleaklow stones the sun came out
From bleaklow Stones I made my way to the 2066 feet summit of Bleaklow Head
From where I made a short detour to the Wain Stones ( the kiss)
And a close up
From Bleaklow Head I followed the pennine way briefly before aiming for Over wood Moss offering stunning views towards Alport Dale
from Bleaklow I had been walking in warm sunshine but as I neared Cowms Rocks the mist started rolling in. Looking towards Kinder Scout
looking towards Oyster Clough
The last three are looking towards kinder scout as the mist came down
A great day out but after 16 mile, 7 hours walking and 2500 feet of ascent my legs are very stiff
Hope you enjoy
Mark
