Location

Near the source of the River Douglas, just off the footpath connecting Rivington Pike to Winter Hill. Surrounded by lovely Peak District scenery (I think)

Participants

• Angel
• Angel's drag-along, aka Angel's mum
• Angel's mum's drag-along, Dennis

Plans

Drive up to the car park below Rivington Pike, have a leisurely walk around the terraced gardens, then go up to the tower on top and head along the footpath until we see a river.

Expedition

Pretty uneventful. One thing I thought was a good omen, the Geohash Droid app on my phone switched from displaying the distance in miles, to feet, exactly as we got out of mum's car. Exactly according to plan, probably for the first time ever.

On the way home, I realised I could have set off earlier and followed the National Cycle Network route 91 all the way to the car park.
