Tonight the Owls were seen soaring over the
castleshaw skyline. Setting off from the old mill lodge Andy G, David H and
myself followed the valley bottom to the dam wall of the lower reservoir. From
here we ascended the northern flanks of the valley to attain the Edith Boon Way, which is a local section of the Pennine Bridleway. Under a clear sky we picked
up the Oldham Way and continued along Millstone Edge to the trig point where we
took the obligatory group photo. After a short stop, to admire the stars above, we continued along the Pennine Way before turning west for the lane along
Harrop Edge and then descended the fields back to our start point.
Returning to the vehicles at around 21.30, and in
need of refreshments, we headed for the Cross Keys where we were met by Tong G,
Jim B and Sue H.
Full owl points were awarded to everyone tonight for
taking part in the run and returning to the nest for drinking and socialising.
Tonight's Owl Points: Andy G - 4 points, David H - 4
points, Chris M - 4 points
