Delph WAlk. 20 March

What it's Says on the Can Walk - Sunday's Delph Walk.
 
 As my walks are always says what it will be like, is what you get.  Hills, remote ground, 3 breaks and fast pace. That what it said on the can and that's what 20 walkers got on Sunday. Listen to the critics who said no one would turn up. You all missed a good walk where at the end of the day you felt you did a good work out.  So the weather was not to kind being in the mist but we headed out onto the open moor and towards white hill our highest point of the walk. Then along the Rochdale way, Oldham way, crompton way and even the Pennine Way.  We had a few ups and downs to do, but the elite walkers did well.  They were glad of the pint just about  a mile from the end. We arrived at the Heights Pub at about 3.45pm where the land lady was happy of us coming in, but not 20 in one go.  The hardest part was pulling ourselves from the roaring fire and 4 hand pulled beers. Then it was the last mile down hill to the cars.
