25th: Crowden walk

25th: Crowden walk

Whilst many of the group were away on a weekend, eight of us got together for an extra walk. Setting off from the old Crowden YHA car park, we climbed up through the disused ranges to Laddow Rocks, Crowden Castles and Sliddens Moss, climbing over the watershed and down Crowden Little Brook. A bit of a different walk with much snow walking, a bit of scrambling, two river crossings. Unfortunately we missed the aircraft wrecks in the clag, but we were lucky enough to see 3 mountain hare. The weather went from a bit wet, to misty, to absolute no visability (about 5metres) out of mist and into rain.Umbrella Steve
