Lunch at the White House

Distance 21 miles 

Ascent 850m

Weather overcast but dry, some blue sky but the other way

Slugs, oyster catcher

We set off from home to walk to the White House at Littleborough for lunch. We went over the fields behind the cattery to Ogden Reservoir and then up around Binns Pasture to Windy Hill. We crossed the motorway and over Blackstone Edge, which was very popular, passed the Aiggen Stone along the Pennine Way. 

After lunch we headed down the roman road to the Rochdale Way, over the motorway at the farm bridge and the back round to the bench (which was most bird pooy) overlooking the reservoir, where we had tea and biscuits and met a sheep. 

A rash decision was made to walk back to the lane back to the cattery. It was long. Long and steep. Another sit down on a bench on Brushes Clough, then we walked home along the track. 

Rob went up to the co-op for supplies. It was Eurovision, but we didn't make it through the interval.
