Bank Holiday Weekender Day 3

Eagles Crag to Oldham
Distance 18 miles
Ascent 800m
Weather mostly dry, cloudy


After a well-timed breakfast we left the Staff of Life stuffed and walked up and around the hillside edge above Robinwood. We were passed by some runners, soon out of side. We followed the Calderdale Way around Todmorden Edge, down to cross the road by the canal and up the moorland. The path along to the Long Causeway and the wind turbines. We passed some people who couldn't open a gate and then saw a wall cow.


We had a sit down on the moors and wondered if we were going to get rained on, there was a lot of weather about, then skirted around Clay Pots Hill to join the main path down to High Lee Slack and Higher Shore.


We made our way through Littleborough to Hollingworth Lake, which was rammed as usual and then we walked under the motorway bridge around Tunshill Hill and around Ogden Reservoir. With achy feet we took the (slightly) less hilly route home through cow field, Brushes Clough and along the track.
