TrigpointingOK!

Picking up from TF's account below, I reached the Winter Hill trig in just 2 hours 7 minutes, then set off back down the road. Using the path to the left, about a quarter of a mile after the mast, I picked up Burnt Edge and then retraced our steps back towards the quarries, turning left across the fields, reaching Old Harpers in 2:37. Then it was Matchmoor, Georges Lane, Gardens and the Barn in a nice round 3:20 and 13 miles.

It was obvious that this was not the optimum route. If we'd planned ahead, we'd have done Old Harpers on the way out and could have done all three by adding no more than 15 minutes to TF and YJ's time.

Sub 3 hours beckons.
