Despite threats from TLoB only KLM and me arrived at UTUP. As arranged, a note was left for EtU who was planning to arrive late. Low cloud and clag on setting off and didn’t get much better. Few more pics here if it’s of interest.

En route to Trespass Stone
Having left a route description for EtU, given the conditions, amazingly we met up close to the mast. Down To Hordern’s and down the road to pick up the footpath to take us to the fire road and then across the valley to the track to Lead Mines Clough. At the gate we found this strange piece of kit!
Fell running zimmer frame!
‘Isn’t she lovely!’
‘Did you see that bloke with the zimmer frame?’ ‘Yeah, shouldn’t be allowed out’ ‘I reckon his wife’s gonna have something to say when he turns up with that thing… Loser!’

Heading back to Rivington
Having said goodbye to running friends a quick freshen up and change of clothes to meet up with non-running friends. Weather now brightening up considerably.

Heading out to Rivington Village Tea Room for coffee and cakes!

Back to Lower Barn – rain overnight very visible
Cherry scones to die. for before heading home and a glorious sunset, so out across the fields to catch the last rays.
Fun packed day - good friends to enjoy it with and finally an evening at one of Bolton’s finest Thai restaurants with more good people – lovin the weekend
