Peak District Walk

Members: Bob Kelly, Andy Stratford, Roger Dyke, Shorter route – Iain McCallum.

 

As the weather forecast was dire – heavy rain, high winds etc. etc.  I did not actually expect anyone to turn up at the Whalley Bridge canal basin to start the walk.

But in the forecasted rain, lo and behold two members did.  They were rewarded as during the day the rain stopped and the sun popped out becoming very pleasant.

Due to the wind we opted for a lower route and did a loop, up one side of the valley and back down the other.  Stopping at one of Andy’s old haunts in Goytsclough quarry from the days when he was a raver.  13 miles in all.

Iain worked out a shorter route from Pym Chair but we didn’t actually bump into him.
