Taxal Edge (Oct 2012)

Last of the Summer Wine?

Today saw a reduced LOTSW team out (Tony B, Tony W, Neil G) with 3 men not available (Andrew - no pass, Julian - tradesmen supervision, David - stuck in traffic and gave up and went home).

After coffee/cake (thanks Tony W) the walk today started at Taxal Church CP (50p donations welcome) and followed the Goyt Valley along to Fernilee Reservoir. A few ups and downs took us to Taxal Edge and then down through the fields to Kettleshulme and welcome pint and lunch at The Swan Inn. After lunch was a short 1.5 miles back to the cars up and over Taxal Edge.

The forecast was for torrential rain but in the end there was drizzle for 5 mins and the rest of the walk remained dry.

Plans being drawn up for a pre-Christmas LOTSW - Doodle Poll to follow.
