Win Hill & Bamford edge circuit. Meet at car park, GR approx. SK 200836 near Thornhill. Hopefully the roadworks round there will have finished by then. Approx. 6.5 miles.
12 ascended Win Hill meeting a number of D-of-E groups, not all of whom seem to have understood what is included in the countryside code – do they just leave everyone else to clear up after them at home? Or do they think there is a litter fairy? Refreshments over, time to get the poles out and down to the Ladybower reservoir. Going up to Bamford edge was a very different experience to last time I did it, lush green hid the contorted oak trees. Lunch just above the trees seemed for some to consist mainly of blueberries. The planned descent on the recently re-opened bridleway was thwarted by yet another maintenance closure, so the alternative, slightly longer route down the road and back across fields was taken instead. About 7.5 miles, in generally improving weather depending on whose GPS system you believe! Thanks everyone, including the good weather fairy.
