Well I've said on several times what a muddy walk we'd done so I thought I was prepared. This walk started in Hartington and was described as a strenous 12 mile. That was about where the instructions ended! multiple getting lost and the intense mud meant we'd taken hours to get to Longnor. We were exhausted at this point but hoped a spot of lunch would restore spirits for the return journey. It seemed to initially until we realised we were going in the wrong direction and losing light.
We asked a friendly local who suggested we went back a mile up the steep hill to the village we'd had a late lunch and then on the roads it should only be another 6 miles!
We probably started to get an idea of what summit night will be like with our moods! However we speed marched up hill and along roads and shockingly made it back just before dark. Last time I do a walk with so few instructions!!!
Up to about £30,000 in fund raising!
