We set off about 10:30 after a relatively restrained breakfast. The wind was quite strong so we decided to take a lower route back.
We followed the canal back near the end of the Standedge Tunnel and then turned off up the lane around the back of Pule Hill. The wind was markedly stonger up on the tops.
The Pack Horse Route led over the moors to the Pennine Way, which we joined briefly before heading off down the Oldham Way down into Diggle. The canal towpath took us to Greenfield where we stopped at The Kingfisher for lunch. After lunch it started raining slightly, light drizzle for the next hour or so. We came back along the Oldham Way, meeting a couple of friendly dogs and horses.
