This weekend's walks were a bit of a mixture. Saturday's was a "navigation" day run by the Peak District National Park service. We all met up at Glossop where we were taken out by a group of park rangers who went over map & compass work with us and how not to get lost!! It was a superb day, we all had a great time despite the howling wind at times drowning out everyone's voices. I would have liked to take a few pics but was far too busy concentrating to even think about getting the camera out !!!
Sunday's Walk
These are a few pics from Sunday's walk. After a fairly chilly start to the day, It turned out to be quite nice. I took the train into Glossop, walked up Whitfield & Moorfield across Black Moor to meet up with the Pennine Way, going all the way on up to Bleaklow Head and back home to Hadfield via Torside Clough. The section across Pennine Way up to the Snake Pass is all paved so it seemed very much like a lovely "sunday stroll". Even the section from the Snake Pass all the way up to Bleaklow Head from this side has a nice easy route to follow.
These particular photos are a bit boring, there are no great views coming across Black Moor and the sky being quite hazy meant the hilltops were fairly indistinguishable. By the time the sunshine came out properly I was already up at Bleaklow Head
This makes a pleasant change - a stretch of the Pennine Way with easy peasy walking, much better than struggling over ankle breaking tussocks and wiry heather !!!
Where the Pennine way crosses the Snake Pass
No great views here - just lots and lots of this stuff !!
Weathered Stones Not Far From Bleaklow Head
I love this stretch - heading for Torside on my way home now
