Stanage Edge Houndkirk Moor 18th August 2021

 This was a re-run of the walk in July. Accompanied by Rowan, I fancied doing it again as I had missed all the views on the Stanage Edge section as I walked through a massive electrical storm on the July walk. There was a few variations on the route from July as you can see on the route below.





Considering it was August, the temerature was quuite cool,so I kept my two layers on.

This was the same route as last time with the exception of dropping down to the A6187 and then turning left for about 50 yards before joining the start of Houndkirk Moor.






The other difference since last time was that we took a left footpath towards the Ox stones , before the turnoff to the woods.




Rowan wasn't impressed. I have to agree , the rocks on Stanage Edge were far more impresive !

We had a short break at a bench on Fullwood Lane before continuing.
