Winter Hill and Smithills Moor
This was an 8 miles walk on a sunny but extremely windy afternoon, during which I traversed a great deal of moorland and visited a remote reservoir that once fed one of the local mills in a bygone age.
Winter Hill Panoramas
On some of my more recent walks on Winter Hill I’ve been taking panoramic videos, so I thought you might like to see them. If you wonder what the strange noises are on the sountracks it’s my heavy breathing. As with most of my pictures, Brett and Sam take every opportunity to hog the camera.
Walking the Dean Ditch
Today’s excursion was a five mile walk taking in some of the moorland on Winter Hill and walking most of the length of the Dean Ditch, then returning via Dean Mills Reservoir and the Coal Pit Road. Not the longest walk I’ve done by any means but quite a tiring, not to mention squelchy one.
Afternoon Stroll on Winter Hill
This was just a gentle afternoon’s stroll, mainly on paths not shown on the map. I didn’t have any particular route in mind, just going wherever came to mind next, whilst heading towards Dean Ditch.
