28th: Rushup Edge
16
Swoggers and 3 Dogs stepped out on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning in
the peak district, our aim to conquer the wild and windy Rushup Edge!!
Setting
off from outside the Pennypot cafe in idyllic Edale village we
meandered our way upto Back Tor the limestone rock glistening in the
sunshine, from there onto the ridge and passed Hollins cross and onto
the threatening and very very windy MamTor (you had to keep hold of your
hat here) from Mam Tor on to Rushup Edge, oh by the way while
on walking towards Mam Tor we met a somewhat sheepish looking character
who claimed to have overslept? (Pete forgot to put the hour on) this
made our group 17 we stopped for lunch near Lords Seat then carried on
and down into Barber Booth.
All
the excitement got a little to much for one member who took a short cut
from here to have a lie down. Back to 16 the rest carried on to Upper
Booth where we dodged some cows and skirted along the Pennine Way back
into Edale and the Rambler Inn where a well earned drink was had.
After a little rest our swogger had recovered and joined the rest of us
in the Pub.
