The Roaches 22 September 2007

Another walk that I missed!


Picture by the trig point on the Roaches.

Walk stats: Distance: 11 - 12 miles (The estimate made direct from the walk deacription by Mark Richards.)
Group: Richard, Celia, Sylvia and Dave J.



A good walk with only a short burst of rain towards the end. Mostly the weather was warm and for some reason there were hardly any other people about. The start point was as you suggested, on one of the the lay bys below the Roaches.

Don't know the stats as none of us had a GPS but I guess the mileage was around 12 miles.

Lunched on the hillside near to the rare breeds farm.

Birds seen or heard:- Stonechat, Wheatear, Kestrel, carion crows, House martins, Bluetits.

For refreshment where else but the Wilkes Head, where Hartington Bitter, lager (guess who) and crisps were consumed with relish!
