Things seen: curlews! One of my favourite birds. Another view of my friend with beer.. And not much else, on account of the weather.
-------------------------
I felt reasonably OK in the morning, snug in my pod, but got a late start as I had to wait for the camp office to open so I could pay, and they had computer trouble. As we all know, nothing happens without a computer.. got away about 9.45am and headed off up towards Black Hill. About half way there it started to rain quite heavily and kept it up nonstop for the rest of the day. Therefore no pictures today, sorry.
On the upside, my waterproofs were. Although today was shorter, there were some big ups and downs. So I still found it hard, though not so hard as yesterday. When I reached the car park at Standedge, there was friend Wayne with beer... we went off to the Diggle Hotel for something to eat, then I spent the night at Wayne's house.
Since I was not able to take any photos today, here is an image from the last time I was here, in 2019, when it rained even harder. This is usually just a trickle, at Wessenden head..
