The C walk started with a walk around the South end of the lake and then up to join the Pennine Bridle Way. We followed this all the way north to Chelburn reservoirs and joined the canal at Summit. Then back down the canal with its many locks into Hollingworth.

The A walk headed SE along the Lake and under the M6. Then Eastwards up the Longden valley to join the Pennine Way on Windy Hill. Then north over the M6 and along Blackstone Edge and the Blackstone, Whiteholm and Warland reservoirs. Finally down into the Rochdale valley and along the Rochdale canal back to Hollingworth.

Sun's out and so are the smiles as Helen imagines eating her scone

Follow the granite brick road 
Here come the Bs wandering as lonely as a cloud 
despite the snow drifts, we battled on 
What a cracking day
