Saturday’s Run

Woke up to see this from bedroom window

and thought, mmm… could be a good morning on the fells.  A few more like this here.

and it was, this taken from road in vicinity of Lower Barn.  Just time to get a couple from my usual halt before going round to the car park.

Sunburst over Two Lads and top of the quarries

The Mormon temple at Chorley in the centre, looking north from Two Lads

From same point, with Pigeon Tower in foreground and Preston football ground, clearly on the horizon in the centre

Looking up to the mast from Two Lads

Now looking south over Manchester City Centre again from Two Lads.  The tall building in the centre is the Hilton Hotel

Unmistakably, the Trespass Stone, but something we have never noticed on the gatepost, another benchmark! You can see it at the bottom. Well spotted EtU.

…and here’s the man himself at Amunition/Dangerous corner.  Look at that sky, no wonder I didn’t go to Mallorca for half term :~)

Only the two of us out, with YJ doing his own thing due to injury.  Neither one of us feeling on top form for different reasons.  We headed up to the Pike, off past Pike Cottage and up onto Two Lads, top of quarries, Burnt Edge, Reser, wall path to Trig.  Then down to Hordens, Dangerous Corner, Lower Houses and back.  We got back to LB about 11.30 in time for me to dash home to help with the preparations for having friends round that evening – well I set the table as you can see.

Hope to be out Saturday.  

How did the relay on Sunday go?
