cold wind out there today and decidedly wetter underfoot than last week. but no rain thankfully.
Bleaklow!! yes Tanky's is getting nearer and there's talk of the High Peak Marathon again.
From the Longdendale carpark up Stable clough for a change and on to Bleaklow summit via open country. very hard going but we came across a couple of ground monitoring stations checking waterflow and erosion.
Across to Bleaklow stones and then followed HPM route before heading out to Grinah stones and down to Ronksley cabin where we sat down and ate in comfort. signed in and then moved on to Coldwell spring, up to Hoarstone through thigh deep heather before picking up Howden edge which was soooooo much wetter than last week end. strong wind deep heather and boggy terrain had finally wore me down so followed G&B route to lady cross and down longdendale back to car.
14 miles 2000ft but felt longer than that:rolleyes::D
