Christmas Eve Walk

Castleshaw Fort



What do you do on Christmas Eve? Go for a walk to get away from the crowds.  Today we met up with Shaun from the DofE. So we met up at Castleshaw c Car park and our aim was to get out for a quick blast and back to the cars. Plus put things to right in the world of DofE for next year for us.

Let say over the boot deep mud.
So the route was easy. Head up onto Standedge from Castleshaw Car Park. Castleshaw being a roman fort. A long the edge to the road and the come back round again to the road further down and then head back to Castleshaw.  Easy but when you chatting away and you know what you are doing. So don’t check the map until you know you should not be going down hill. Yes we did go the wrong way and we changed the route again and it was not long before we changed it again as a path was shut at the dam. In the end we did a figure eight walk and we covered about 7 miles, which is not long but we did it at a fair pace and we were back at the cars for 1.15pm
