Despite persistent drizzle, 7 of us set off down Cressbrook Dale from Wardlow. We made an early scramble ascent of Peter’s Stone – also a gibbert stone that displayef locally executed criminals as late as 1815. Tried to listen to a local folk song about the history of the area (supplied by Dave C). We continued down dale, overshot turn off, retreated and then ascended to a higher level path with fine views. In a brief let up of the rain we sat for food and drink before the onward summit bid of Wardlow Hay Cop. Photos at trig point completed, we retraced our steps for about half a mile before exiting back to cars. Much needed coffee in a warm cafe ensued. Thank you fellow explorers for an enjoyable Saturday adventure.
