A 4 mile walk on a late afternoon in November. The weather was ideal for walking but very cold.
Dean Black Brook (or Grange Water)
Coppice Stile, with Great Hill in the distance
Looking west - Healey Nab is in the distance to the left of the trees at Coppice Stile
Looking east from the path after leaving Coppice Stile.
Late afternoon sunshine as I near the ruins of Drinkwater's
Looking SE just before arriving at Drinkwaters. Several things to note here. Firstly the trial mineshafts, and in line with the centre one is the Tumulus called Round Loaf, and to the left of that the masts on Winter Hill are visible
The ruins of Drinkwater's Farm. It was used for shelling practice during WW2
Leaving Drinkwater's, the path takes you to Great Hill.
Nearing Great Hill summit
A moody view across to Winter Hill
The last section has had flags laid where it was particularly wet
Darwen Tower from Great Hill
Great Hill summit
Through the slit in the cloud the sunset silhouettes a conical Mountain in Wales - anyone know which it is
And another view of it
Then the sun descended into the break in the cloud. Two mountains are visible now
Setting sun
Looking back to Great Hill
