The team was NLN, YJ and me. YJ had done his usual six miles before our UTUP meeting. The route was devised to take in several benchmarks that NLN had in mind and was Hordern Stoops and Spitlers as far as the end of the wall where we turned right and down to the end of the Tockholes road. At the sharp left hand bend in the road we turned right towards Lower Pasture Barn Farm and shortly afterwards, left and up on to Darwen Moor. From there it was a meandering route to the tower picking up two benchmarks on the way but failing to find one at the tower. It was then to Piccadilly and part way up Great Hill before short cutting to Spitlers and NLN’s route to Ammunition Corner and back in.
The temperature was quite low at times and it was generally dry under foot.
15.72 miles. Elevation: +2110 / –2106.
