| Looking from the mast at Winter Hill back towards Belmont. A good place for racing cyclists to train |
 |
| From Winter Hill, it can be pretty desolate at times |
 |
| Its a big thing! |

| Anglezark Resevoir - Adlington is 2 miles away as the crow flies, Yeah right. |
Started at Adlington Scout hut, crossed the Railway and the A6 and then the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Along the Canal, Up two Lads and then Winterhill, Rivington Castle stuck in somewhere, great big circle round, find canal and back home. Not so tricky nav, found yet a new route from Jepsons gate and then seemed to forget the last bit. Went with Kyle, a bit of running in the middle, good pace. Met some old acquaintances, back home for pie and peas. A seriously good day and quite reasonably quick. Will probably do this as an unsupported run at the end of the summer. Thanks to Adlington scouts for a really good day out.
