A nice little outing earlier gave me and JtE 7.3m over Two Lads, Mast, Trig Point, down to Georges Lane and back round to Pike, over which we went before returning to cars at Wilderswood. Within five minutes of setting out in dry conditions, we were sheltering under the conveniently grown trees at Pike Cottage. The rain came and went, giving very atmospheric lighting throughout the run. As you can see below.
From the mast road where we were engulfed in cloud – Manchester is in apparently bright sunshine

From EtU’s description we located the benchmark, which is interesting as it is not listed in the benchmarks database. As you can see below the weather had faired up by the time we got to the Pike.
A triumphant JtE indicating the location of the benchmark with his size 9’s
and a close up – just to confirm its presence – I didn’t spot it at the time but there could be a bolt just above the cutmark – will take another look next time
How many times have we all run over this without spotting the mark? Well done EtU.
Hoping to be out Saturday UTUP
NLN
PS – dropped my favourite Buff while out – pale blue and white flowers with some green colour, if you happen to come across it – would be delighted to see it again
