Many thanks to Noel Titterington and Iain McCallum for helping me out on this walk, as most of you know on the return from my holidays in the U.S.A my left calf was swollen to twice it's normal size, I had the dreaded DVT.

The walk started in dry conditions and at a good pace, at the first ridge Jim and Sandy said they were going to stay high to avoid the heavy conditions in the valley, as they didn't want to get their boots dirty! The route then dropped down to the Goyt Valley, and so did the rain.

At the Errwood Reservoir the conditions were pretty grim, and Michelle left us as she had some painting to do! In true KMC spirit Iain wanted to carry on with the walk ,wet or dry as every body was geared up for heavy rain, at this point Frank and Margaret Williams decided to go and look at the architecture of the ruins of Errwood Hall.

The route taken was up Wildmoorstone Brook, Edgemoor, Cat and Fiddle, Shining Tor, and back to Lens. Thanks to Len and Eric and Pat Holt who provided the cakes, and all the helpers for the excellent refreshments they were most welcome, and great to see the two Pete's again.
