Saturday 15 September 7 miles

It was bright and clear when we got up, but started to cloud over a bit as we left home and especially as we got into the peaks. It was a colder than I was expecting, especially the breeze - but we were much higher up than the Cheshire Plain - what should I have expected!!
We still had a good day, the cloud lifted, the sun shone on and off.It was not a difficult walk, quite good as we haven't walked for a while. As Shining Tor is the highest land in Cheshire I think I was expecting it to be a bit steeper. It was interesting following the stone path, noticing all the colours, shapes and indentations. The path certainly saved us from getting wet feet, the peat was quite wet.
We were hoping to find somewhere picturesque for lunch, but being so high up there were no trees, just moorland. We managed to perch on a wall or sit on the grass - or even lie on the grass and have a snooze!
The pub at the end gave us time to relax.Very nice.
