Ascent: 650m
Pubs: 2
Frogs: 1
In the paper recently, there was an article about quality local pubs, one of which isn't too far from us so today we decided to go for a walk over to Castleshaw and, if said pub happened to be open as we were walking by, then it would be rude not to call in.
We walked around Strinedale Reservoir at about 11am, where some ladies were out with their personal trainer, and over Bishop's Park grateful for the duck boards. Down the lane into Delph village we came out near the crossing, and I nearly came a cropper on some slippy steps under trees. A quick stop to clean up my grazed knuckles, and we carried on through the village and up the cobbled lane onto Lark Hill. We munched some oatcakes as we walked along the lane, and then crossed the A62 and down to the reservoirs. Coming up the track, we turned left along the track to Heights - although backtracked when the path was too churned up and wet (complete with frog) to easily get through, skirting around and returning via a gap in the wall a bit further on. We called in at the Royal Oak, to give it its proper name, for a couple of pints. Refreshed, we carried on a long the lane into Denshaw and back along the road to the King's Arms at Grains Bar for Sunday Dinner.
