Today we started at the car park below Peel Tower at Holcombe Brook. Walking up the farm track to Peel Tower the views were good though hazy into the distance - down the length of the Pennine hills and across Cheshire to North Wales.
Crossing Holcombe Moor to the north west of the tower the moor was saturated by the recent rain. Nearing the edge of the moor with Winter Hill in view our path petered out into tuffted grass. However all (and our group) was not lost, pressing on we descended the hill by way of an ancient cut slope and joined the track at the foot. By this time the sun had come out and it was like a spring day. The circuit of the moor was completed in just 2 hours.
