March 2nd -- Greenfield, Greater Manchester | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
The A walk headed SE out of Greenfield, along the Oldham Way towards Chew Reservoir returning along the high level path across Hoarstone Edge. | |||||
As inconspicuous as ever.. | ..he's not with us! | ||||
The obelisk from across the valley | |||||
Dovestone from the Oldham Way | |||||
Dovestone from Hoarstone Edge | |||||
Rainclouds gather | |||||
Roger's B+ group walked up the West side of Dovestone reservoir.. | |||||
..crossing by the Yeoman Hey dam | |||||
and climbing | the series of weirs | ||||
to the East | A pause for lunch | ||||
then on to | Great Dovestone Rocks | ||||
the big cairn | and the big summit shot | ||||
The B- walk started northwards along the west flank of Dick Hill | |||||
Looking down on Heathfields, in the Thame Valley | |||||
Old mill building at Pob Green | |||||
Coming back after a wrong turn by Slades Rocks | |||||
and over Dick Hill tothe rocks at Alderman's Brow .. | which made a spectacular | ||||
(but rather windy) picnic spot | |||||
Then on to | the obelisk war memorial | ||||
heading down | to Dovestone, and round Yeoman Hey reservoir, | ||||
past the cold, grey waters of Greenfield reservoir | |||||
returning through the drizzle past Dovestone reservoir again | |||||
Rick and Pam took their C group anti-clockwise around Dovedale reservoir then along the Oldham Way around the foot of Alderman's Brow and up to the obelisk; stopping for lunch in a sheltered quarry on the way and meeting the B- group on the way . | |||||
Bunny ears... but where's the bunny? | |||||
And finally to the Clarence.. | |||||
where the boss was clearly much happier.. | ..than when she worked in Paris! | ||||
