Our Walks in Uppermill June 2008

We had a great time in Uppermill, which was a new venue for us and the reports at the end were that everyone enjoyed both the venue and the walks. The weather however, was very kind to us, being neither too hot or too cold and wet, giving us many periods of beautiful sunshine and only a few spots of rain.
The A Walk, just a few in number, further depleted because of one member being bitten by a dog, enjoyed a bracing walk with the reservoirs in view most of the time and looking quit refreshed! The person bitten by a dog is, I am pleased to say OK, but a bit miffed at missing her walk.

The B Walk, puffed up the short climbs, but with plenty of breaks and the rewarding 'WOW' view at the top, said that it was all worth it. After lunch sheltered from the cool wind, we headed for the descent and with fine views all the way down it was easy and enjoyable. Once in Diggle it was level walking along the canal, stopping for an Ice Cream at Grandpop Greens and then on to the Garden Centre and village for refreshment.

The C Walk, although more challenging than normal, offered a variety of views and terrains and was still back home first! They enjoyed the Stanedge Tunnel, lunch in Dobcross and afternoon tea in the garden centre and thanked Les for such an enjoyable walk and for being such a good leader on his first walk as walk leader.
