Today I had company on my travels - my little buddy "Leo". He has boundless energy and can't sit still for more than a minute which can be a pain when I want to take a pit stop and simply eat my lunch. I think this is his favourite walk - lots of holes to get stuck in, plenty of water to wade in; he always ends up filthy by the time we get home.
We went from our home in Hadfield along the Longdendale Trail, up Torside Clough, quick lunch stop at the Wain Stones, Higher Shelf Stones and back down through Little Clough towards Glossop, then final leg back to home to complete our 12 mile journey.
