Soaring over Buckton Castle


A new fledgling Owlet joined Andy and myself for a run along Moor Edge Road (Pennine Bridleway) towards Carrbrook before ascending to the ancient site of Buckton Castle, where an obligatory group photo was taken (does anyone recognise the new Owl's member?).

From the castle we crossed the moor, under a dark cloudy sky, and climbed up the back of Alphin Pike, along a path which was runnable the whole way. After a short stop in the stone shelter, on the summit, we descended the now heavily eroded path, as a bright moon peeked from behind the clouds. After a fantastic outing it was time to enjoy a much awaited pint.

Full run and nest points awarded to the whole group tonight.
