Location
Another in the Barnsley Pennines, by the upper reaches of the River Porter/Little Don, not far from 2011-08-12 53 -1 (just over a week ago) and very near the area of a school field-trip taken by Monty a little over two decades previously.
Participants
Monty to be there...
Plans
Depending upon the rest of the day (and, given this is being written at nearly 5AM, it could be an interesting schedule), a mid-to-late afternoon arrival in the area is anticipated. And if I'm being non-specific about the time, I can be equally vagyue about the route.
One way or another, I'll be driving to the 'vicinity', and just have to decide where to approach this from. It'll probably be easy to park up near the end of Swinden Lane (near Milton Lodge, on the A628), and head down and onto Hordron Road towards the valley and moor. Estimated walking distance: 6km/3.5 miles
I could park up in the Old Manchester Road spur I used the previous Friday (near the A616/A628 island), use the paths to Far Swinden and work out which particular tracks from there. 10km/6 miles of walking, there and back.
For a marginally more adventurous trek, stop at Langsett and up to the Porter/Little Don inflow around the reservoir. That'd be perhaps a dozen miles of foot travel.
It would be even more worthy to head over to Howden Reservoir (except that parking, unlike the actual situation during the 2011-02-19_53 -1 expedition, would have to be at the base of the Upper Derwent Resrvoir) and use the Cut Gate track, but that would mean an estimated 35-40 miles return trip walk. I doubt I'll do that. Apart from anything else, it would also mean a longer car journey, due to how the road network works in and out of Sheffield and its environs.
If anyone else does want to wander along, then perhaps we'll meet anyway, but if you make a note about your plans I might spot them and be able to coincide.
Expedition
Not yet occured.
Tracklog
No GPS will be available.
Photos
TBA
Achievements
TBA, when occured. (Standard, Land Geohash/No Batteries... Vague possibility of MNIMB if things aren't as easy as anticipated, and MNB if they are even less easy!)
