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.
Tracklog
Photos
Half way there :) @53.6248,-2.5461
Made it :) With my mum and her bf, which I think earns me a new achievement. @53.6202,-2.5368
A screenshot at the point; unfortunately the satellite image went black on me, but you can see my location and the flag @53.6204,-2.5379
