Nine of us met on Sunday 2 Dec for our monthly walk - and although the sun came out briefly, we were pretty wet by the end! We encircled Hayfield, first climbing to Twenty Trees for a nice view of Kinder Downfall (with spray blowing upwards from its waterfall) and then crossing over the by-pass near the Grouse Inn and following nice tracks to the summit of Lantern Pike. By then the wind was so strong we could hardly stand up! Sadly, the cafe half way along the Sett Valley Trail is closed on Sundays for the winter, now - so no tea there, although some came back to Sally & Matthew's in Marple Bridge (see second photo!) to dry out a bit.
NB the picture of Kinder is for atmosphere, and dates from a colder time. It wasn't snowy, sadly - although we had the first touch of snow of the year in November. More to come, we hope...
