Ascent: 350 m
Weather: cooler than expected, brightening later
Almost a continuation of our walk last month - we started just outside of Todmorden and walked along the canal (from bridge 24) up through the town. Crossing the Pennine Bridleway and up on to the moors at the big (erratic) stone, going up the steps at the reservoir avoiding the horde. We joined the stone path and followed that though the bog (lots of slurping noises from underfoot) to the Pennine Way. A clear path leads over to the Stoodley Pike monument - we stopped at a stone bench just beforehand for lunch and a flask of tea - and then down towards a plantation. Just before the trees we turned down left through some sheep fields and on to a lane. Somewhere around here we mislaid the route, but there are plenty of lanes that lead to Hebden Bridge so we just carried on. The battery in my camera ran out somewhere around here too.
We walked through the edge of Hebden Bridge and rejoined the canal, following that back to bridge 24, admiring the boats, gardens and woodland.
