Kevin's Doctors & Fairies

The A walkers met today at Watergrove Reservoir car park, north of Wardle, Rochdale OL12 9NH, OS grid reference SD 912 176 at 10 am. The distance and ascent of the walk were 12.0 miles and 1,422 feet, according to ViewRanger on an iPhone 4S.

There were 16 people on the walk. This is less than we have had of late, but it was Mothers' Day, and there was an A+ walk the previous day. The advertised walk was also relatively hard and distant, which tends to reduce the turnout.

Owing to his injury at Scarborough, Philip was not able to lead the advertised walk. Fortunately, Kevin had been deputized and lead an alternative walk, from the same location, using his trusty Nexus 7 running BackCountry. Here is the route:

It was a dry day with a light wind and some sunshine. There was good news on Philip's recovery. He was able to walk 9 miles the previous day. The group retired to the Globe Inn after the walk.
