Today myself, Rayf52, Deano, Theguyuk and Steve did a 13 mile walk round the Saddleworth Moors and Black Hill area of the Peak District. And at the end a nice pint in a pub in Greenfield.
The walk started at Dovestone Reservoir under cloudy grey sky's and felt more like March than July.
Passing the Dovestone's and Greenfield Reservoir we started the ascent of Birchin Clough which suddenly turned into another Wildboar Clough being very wet and some hard scrambles at time's.
Better watch where you putting your feet jim we don't want you falling over!!!
looking back down Birchin Clough.
Some madman preparing for a jump. I wonder why nobody else wanted to join me.
A little joke between me and ray. Dizzy this is the one and only time you will see me with a walking pole. enjoy
A very Black Hill indeed.
