Sunday 4th June 2006

An overcast day that saw me exploring another new section of the Peak District and in the process missing out on bagging 2 more county tops because I didn't check my lists before I set out and only realised how close I was to them once I got home.

Looking up towards Laddow Rocks (on the left) along the start of day two of the Pennine Way.

Looking back towards Crowden with Bleaklow behind a barely visible Torside Reservoir.

Oaken Clough Brook.

Looking across Laddow Moss to Chew Reservoir.

The feature at the far end on the left is called Stable Stone Brow.....

.............. Dish Stone Rocks are on the right.

As you walk further along Dovestone Reservoir comes into view.

Ogden Clough with Arnfield Flats on the right. 

Tintwistle Moor across Bottoms Reservoir from the Longdendale Trail.

Looking back at Rhodeswood Reservoir as the Pennine Way crosses Torside Reservoir's dam wall.
