Up the hill, first right after the Waggon & Horses on Wooded Pass heading towards Manchester from Sheffield. 15 quid a night including electric, accepts non C&C members. Basic shower & toilet block but its the views & walking that its all about.
Just a couple of the weekend's pics to complete the write-up. Take chocks if you visit as it's flat at the top & reasonably flat at the bottom of the field. Elsewhere it's a bit undulating. It can get windy on the tops of the hills so a wind break is a must. There is a well tended walk around the res. Reasonably gentle but you can take paths off onto the moors which are well signposted. The Strines is a lovely area of the Peak District with great driving roads. The weather was kind this weekend... And has been ideal for this particular activity... Amongst the heather are the bilberry bushes. It looks like a crime scene after picking as the berries burst easily... ...but pies are on the menu this week
I know. I said to M yesterday that they were the celery of the berry world. However, bilberry picking seems to be part of South Yorkshire DNA. People all over the place in various uncompromising poses. I did my quota of 2 freezer bags worth & then went & sat in the bus & stuck the kettle on
Just been checking over places to take Mrs C and came across this- we are 2 miles up the road from the Wagon. If your ever up here again you can stop at ours
