Unfortunately thanks to an overnight ... http://wetboots.duncsdrivel.biz/wordpress/?p=98 Set off this morning from Clough Foot near Widdop for a very solitary trip up Boulsworth Hill from the south east, returning via the gritstone edges above Widdop reservoir.

I set off from Marsh above Oxenhope along Lee Lane towards a still icy Leeshaw reservoir. The lane passed the dam after about half a mile, ... http://wetboots.duncsdrivel.biz/wordpress/?p=79 Went for a nine mile bog trot this morning, as a step towards walking a summer's worth of beer off.
