On a cool and drizzly Saturday in 'summer', ten Twittererers (well, OK, eight plus two non-tweeters) set off on Peaks adventure no.2, this time taking on Win Hill via Parkin Clough. I've checked back in my preamble and I definitely described the ascent up Parkin Clough as "...like a cross between Kilimanjaro and Mount Doom. Only the hardiest souls will be able to traverse its rugged stony steps, so be prepared for a tough slog at the start, especially if inclement weather has reduced it to a treacherous quagmire". Or something like that ;)

| Atop Win Hill After the steep start, and a rest/photo stop on Win Hill, it was a pleasant yomp across fields and down through a forest, finishing with a stroll alongside the reservoir (with annoying light drizzle accompanying us) back to the start point. Joining me, @captain_doodle, were @stinkweazl, @wombat37, @DomBurf, @vickyperry, @justinreid, @frak, @TizBanana and non-tweeters Silvano and Maier. At the end of the walk, awaiting us in the pub with her feet up ;) was the lovely @AmMarvellousMe. Heavy overnight rain made for a bit of a slog, and took out @frak at one point, his fight with a boggy patch earning him a big fat muddy arse, but it was another fun day out in the Peaks, this time with added slap-up pub meal afterwards :P  The route  Ups and downs           |
