Family Walk. 27th November

Family Walk
 
November's family walk was a fairly local affair. Four children plus four adults set out from the Torrs Riverside Park car park in Hague Bar near New Mills on a misty day.For the first time on record, girls outnumbered boys (counting the big ones as well). We crossed Strines road and headed up the hill, past New Mills golf course and on to Broadhurst Edge.Following the contours we stopped for lunch and the mist cleared for the only time that day giving clear views of Kinder Scout. The children played 'Blind Man's Tig', a cross between blind man's bluff and tig with hats pulled down over their faces. The adults crept away but were spotted escaping from the field.
We dropped down into New Mills and into the Torrs then over the Millenium bridge and back along the river. Total distance about 5 miles.
