Pym Chair, Todd Brook and Summer Close 20th September 2009

Looking towards Windgather Rocks.
Looking across the Dunge Valley over Summer Close.

On the ridge above Summer Close.
Walk stats:Distance:4.9 miles; Climb:1086'.
Time:2 hours 52 minutes; On the move walking average:2.1 m.p.h.;Overall walk average:1.7 m.p.h.
Group:Martyn and Sue Powell.
This was a walk that we had done before in August, but this time we hoped to complete the walk by finding the path up to Summer Close. Alas we didn't, but we got much closer this time! This was another glorious day for walking in the countryside. Perhaps a little on the warm side, but
we shouldn't complain.
Birds seen or heard today included:Meadow pipit, Carrion crow, Jackdaw, Kestrel, Barn swallow and Goldfinch.
