The Half Dozen

Six of us set off last Saturday from the Lower Barn in the direction of Darwen Tower. TF, who had another engagement, left us at Hordern Stoops. The rest carried on via Belmont and Catherine Edge. EtU and Matt, wanting to be back by 12.00, left us on Darwen Moor. That left me to follow NLN and NicO around the rest of the course. They were, however, very considerate. At Darwen Tower we had our usual picnic after which we went via Hollinshead Hall, Great Hill and Spittlers. I managed to do a YJ type fall on a stoney path but finished up with no more than a grazed leg. We arrived at the barn at about 12.25 and NLN's device showed 15.97 miles. We agreed that this was 16 miles in our books! A good morning out.
