Friday 26th September
A fine day, though there was hardly any sun.
We decided to tackle Shining Tor from Errwood again.
We park at Errwood Reservoir, and follow the path past the ruins of the hall.
Then we take the path crossing the stream,
and up to Foxlow Edge, passing some fly agaric on the way.
Along the road for a short stretch, then we walked up along the ridge with views over to Shutlingslow and Sutton Common
The track goes from Pym’s Chair via Oldgate Nick and Cats Tor, to Shining Tor, where the wind was fierce and cold.
A couple with a dog and binoculars pointed out various landmarks, which were not very visible in today’s haziness. We lunched in the shelter of the wall, then walked directly into the wind, along the path towards the Cat and Fiddle, as far as the junction where our path turned left down to Errwood.
Just before Errwood Hall we took a side path through the woodland, and down to the car park.
6.4 miles and 1050 feet of climbing.
