1. Before the ascent a glance sideways.

3. Bracket fungus on a dead tree, still upright.
4. This is why I've never used this path, the end is almost vertical to the top, I am halfway up at this point and cant talk or breath.
5. After a walk around the top we walk past the lodges and find the area that is having new paths installed.
6. Before the descent, we sit on the new benches, taking in the view, in the warm sunshine.
7. Walking through the heather, then down the hill.
8. A view across to Whinney Hill.
9. Down the slope, how did he get so dirty? ( note the new haircut )
10. Parked the car in the cemetery, just a quick photo of a bee on Sea Holly.

Thats it, time for a lie down with a cup of Complan and a couple of Fig Newtons.

I've noticed the hills are getting steeper as well. Glad you like the benches. Peel and Huncoat area council money that. The footpaths on the coppice are looking good as well.
