OK Dad.
I went up Torside over Bleaklow far enough to see Snake rd and back yesterday. Great day for it, saw a few others out and lots of stud marks which gave me the idea I was on the right track (bit of a navigational novice!).
Does anyone know if my bog standard compass is likely to still be reliable after being accidentally put through the wash?!! :wink:
The stud marks you saw yesterday may not be from recce’s of the Tankys route.
70 odd brown vests were charging around Bleaklow yesterday morning in the DPFR club champs

The afformentioned dog was not our Derek as was widely believed, but his brother Boris.
All is well and Boris's owners wish to pass on their grattitude to all concerned.
Was the “dog incident” something to do with a Bedlington terrier (or similar) one shot past me between Bleaklow head and the top of Wildboar Clough.Quote:
