aircraft on Bleaklow.
Progressing along the Doctor's Gate path, John G pointed out a bridge
we he proposed to his ex-wife. This seems to have been quite a
romantic affair with john producing a bottle of champagne and glasses
on a tray which he had previously stored under the bridge.
In view of the relative success of the marriage we dubbed this the
"Bridge of Sighs".
We subsequently ascended Bleaklow and found three aircraft wrecks
including a Superfortress - B29 bomber (this is the same class as
dropped the atomic bombs in Japan 1945), a Lancaster and a C47 Sky
train.
After the third wreck, the only wrecks to be found constituted certain
members of the party... (I jest........ we had a great team who
enjoyed a steep but dramatic descent from the last wreckage site.
Great weather!
Great team!
Great adventure!
regards from:
John G, Mark C, Sandra, Pete H, John E, self and Howard.
I hope to do a subsequent walk in the future "Crashed aircraft on Kinder".
