The wettest drought of all time?

Just PS (for those who have forgotten, or never knew, Posh Scouser) and Myself at UTUP this morning so we headed off to Two Lads and thence by Burnt Edge to the Trespass Stone. The visibility was such that I had to double check that we had taken the correct path off Two Lads. Crossing the stream near Burnt Edge had to be done without the stepping stones which were submerged by about a foot; the fence came into use for footholds. I didn't want to risk my phone/camera in the rain otherwise I would have captured it for display. At the Trespass Stone, neither of us fancied what would be just a bog on the path to Winter Hill so we retraced our steps to Burnt Edge then took the path twixt the quarries where I had a nice chat with Neil Wrigley and back along Georges Lane before heading through Wilderswood taking the path that comes out on the Pike Race and Winter Hill route then past Rivi School to Liverpool Castle and back along Rivington Reservoir providing PS with a route new to him. The shortened morning's run did provide 9 miles and 2100ft of ascent and as I was about to depart, JtE appeared - so where did you go John?
