Round Castleshaw

Distance: about 12 miles
Ascent: 550m
Weather: cloudy

After a wet week with disappointing step counts, action was needed to meet our weekly goals, in my case 44,000 of them.

We went out after lunch, walking past the cricket club and down through the horse field at the edge of Strinesdale before heading up to Bishops Park and along the lane to Diggle.

There was nothing untoward on Lark Hill today, just some dog walkers and a fancy new dune buggy.

At Castleshaw we passed a mountain biker who was having doubts, and then took the (dry!) track to T'heights and into Denshaw. We were very strong and didn't go in the pub, despite rumbling tummies, and went home via the Co Op.

My step total was 31,000 which left 12,000 required for the week, easily managed (plus extra) by a walk around Brushes Clough and Shaw (to Asda for purchasing of a new set of weighing scales) on Sunday.
