Companions:   Ricky the dog

Points of Interest and LINKS:
Pennine Way					Slippery Moss
Blackstone Edge 1475 ft			Stoodley Pike monument
Ruins of Withins, of 'Wuthering Heights'

Description: Ricky very cautious on narrow bridge over M62 motorway. Very
good views from Blackstone Edge. Good firm walking alongside drains and
reservoirs.Stoodley Pike very impressive. The monument is so high it can be
seen formiles around. Roman road remarkable, very straight. Aigrin Stone now
replaced in an upright position. Interesting walk around farms and houses.
Sheltered from sun behind telegraph pole at Mount Pleasant farm, start of
Heptonstall Moor. Knocked on door at Lower Garple reservoir cottage. Asked
for water for Ricky. The reservoir keeper's wife was very friendly. Ruins of
Withins very interesting. Came face to face with a ram in a walled lane just
before Ponden Reservoir. Ricky wasn't much help.

Location: Start of Walk

Hazards: Care required descending and ascending to and from road A646.
Watch for bulls in fields after March Farm. At Colden ensure the correct path is taken around
cottages and farms.
