Boxing Glove Rocks On Ashop Edge.Distance:10.1 miles; Climb:1400'.
Time:5 hours 47 minutes; On the move walking average:2.2 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:1.7 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger, Celia and Dave J.
The weather turned out to be much better than expected, and by mid-afternoon we had glorious sunshine. The lovely cooling wind accompanying us along the edges was at times a little stronger than we would have liked. Walking along the 4 miles of Seal and Ashop Edges was superb and demands not to be rushed. The views today across the Woodlands Valley and later towards Bleaklow were outstanding.
I believe Richard did the same walk as us today, but he was never near enough to get in camera shot!
Birds seen or heard today included:Red grouse, Meadow pipit, Raven, Goldfinch and Kestrel.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Star Inn in Glossop, which just happened to be hosting their "Beer Festival". Beer sampled included Mordue IPA, Roosters IPA and Blacksheep Bitter. Unfortunately Roger didn't like his Old Rosie, but the same couldn't be said for Richard or Dave!
