👍👍 Great walk and loads of space with lockdown restrictions. Follow signs from Tom o'shanter Farm to get here, walk up and cross a small road and you are there.

Black Combe

Mountain peak

👍 Tough climb up, with three false submits. Saw the RAF jets come through the valley which was a massive highlight. Came down the reservoir side which seemed the best way to do it, didn't fancy coming down the way we went up.

Swine's Back

Mountain peak

👍👍 Reading the other few reviews posted here it would be difficult to tell if the walkers actually knew what they were reviewing. One reviewer has a picture of Edale cross and beautiful though it is, it's at 077863 (on OL1) which is a little bit too SW of the actual rocks at Swine's Back. To be frank...

Crompton Moor

Mountain peak

👍👍 I love that place! Big enough, stunning views and millions of beautiful heathers. U can see Rochdale, Shaw and Oldham, even Manchester when it's good weather. You can lost a bit in forest, go to the waterfall, go for a walk with dog, visit the water reservoir which is stunning. It's really nice plac...

Allt yr Esgair

Mountain peak

👍👍 Underestimated walk! Allt yr Esgair is a stunning underestimated walk. Especially if you combine it with Mynydd Troed and Mynydd Llangorse which makes for a complete circumference of Llangorse Lake. It is a long day out but the views are stunning in all directions. The views from the Iron Age Fort a...
