Todays walk in detail

The weather forecast was dreadful so my thanks to the 7 stalwart hikers who joined me on Sunday.

As we made our damp ramble through the woods by Langsett Reservoir where the trees gave shelter. A following wind helped us up the first part of the climb on a good track to the gamekeeper's hut and elevenses.

Suitably refreshed we made our way across the peat moors on to gamekeepers narrow tracks and up past the shooting buts. The rest of the climb became more difficult underfoot. However we managed to 'yomp' the last half mile through bog and thigh high heather to the summit. 

The views were glorious.

Lunch hiding behind the walls of the shelter, then down to the well-marked but very boggy path across the moors to Cut Gate path.

Great views and the sun came out to cheer us on our way to the cars.

Well earned refreshment was enjoyed at the Wortley Club to round off the day.

Once again thanks fellow 'yompers'
