Title: VR - a wander around greenfield
Post by: beefy on 09:26:25, 10/11/17

Hi guys beefy here 8)
Today I had a wander around greenfield in saddleworth my route was
Dove stone reservoir, Wimberry rocks aka. Indians head, chew reservoir, dovestones reservoir 16.3km with 714m ascent,
Afterwards I kind of fell in the pub  ;D


I usually call in the Clarence hotel, but on the last couple of visits it seems to have gone down hill(pun intended) they didn't have a selection of beers so I wandered down the road to the King William the IV hotel, where I enjoyed a nice pint of Black sheep, well I ended up having one for pleb too, I'm gonna send him the bill cos it was his round

Great stuff, Beefy!  O0


One of my favourite walking spots, although I've not been up on that side of the Chew Road. I've got some routes plotted but I might leave them until after a cold snap or after a dry spell next summer after seeing what the ground was like underfoot.  ;D


The drone footage was cracking!  O0 O0

Wow, I think that is some of your best drone footage. It looks like you are filming a cliff face and then suddenly it drops away, great stuff  O0  It is the sort of footage you want to see in Imax.


You were getting a shift on at one point without April holding you back  ;)
