There were beautiful blue skies today, although it wasn't as warm as it looked out of the windows before we set off. We headed out at about 11ish, along the track and around Brushes Clough. We joined the Tame Valley Way in Denshaw and followed this through Delph, to meet up with the Delph Donkey Trail which STILL HAS NO DONKEYS.
We had our homemade (!) sandwiches at a handy picnic table, then carried on along the track avoiding the canal by staying on the higher path through the old quarries.
It was quite windy at the top of Wharmton hill, a good test for my new Barmah hat. We retraced our steps back through Grotton, Lydgate and Lees - via Strinesdale.
