A Christmas Cracker

Like EtU we were also enjoying the fantastic conditions on Christmas Day with a short tour of Winter Hill from the Quarries up to the Trig and back down, in between cooking the Turkey and visiting the family.  Loads of folk out and about on all the summits and paths as far as the eye could see.

And with perfect timing as we approached the trig a lone SKIER appeared who turned out to be Ros Murray with her cross county skis had come up from Noon Hill and was about to ski back down to Belmont via the ramp.

Finally trotting down the Mast Road we bumped into our window cleaner Chris having a stroll with his Labrador.  

Boxing Day saw us within spitting distance of Horridges Barn having walked with Steve and Eileen over  from Higher Whittaker in Belmont.   Only the pressure of time to get to the Chetham Arms for lunch stopped us from saying hello to Nic’O and David.
