The group today was NLN, NicO, YJ, EtU and me. YJ had run six miles before meeting the rest of us and NicO was, again, delivered by David with a view to making her own way home.
The decision was made to go via NLN’s route to Spitlers then to the Tockholes road turning to the tower near to Slipper Lowe car park. During the run in to the tower YJ became a bit weary and decided not to visit the tower, meeting the others again on their return. At the tower EtU immediately turned for home and the rest of us left in a piecemeal manner and regrouped with YJ at the point of descent from Darwen Moor. At the Tockholes road YJ decided to go directly via Belmont Road to Belmont and back to the barn. The remaining three of us went via Catherine Edge and from a point above Dog Bucket Farm NicO carried on home directly and NLN and I went via the farm, Belmont Bleach Works and Hordern Stoops to the finish.
The environment at the tower was as cold and miserable as ever. As usual, we were glad to get away!
16.5 miles for NLN and me.
