We were a little later than usual setting off, as I'd started the day in Exeter. After cup of coffee, hot cross buns and some last minute packing, we were off.
We walked over Bishop's Park and followed the Crompton Circuit up to Brushes Clough, stopping for lunch on the very small bench at the trig point. We came down the little path beside Pingot Quarry, which was surprisingly hard work on the leg muscles.
The Oldham Way through Crompton Fold was pleasantly dry and there were lots of lambs and funny sheep to admire, we then joined the Rochdale Way through Burnedge and along Thornham Old Road, where we detoured to go over Tandle Hill and nearly got ourselves a dog.
At the end of Thornham Lane (presumable not very old) we turned right down Manchester Road towards the Norton Grange Hotel.
