Towards the southern end of Spliters Edge my walk was almost coming to an end. I crossed the car park marking the top of Rivington Road where I witnessed a couple and their dog walking towards me, after a few words both the couple and their dog retreated back to their car and I couldn't blame them, the windchill where exposed must have been a shock to their system. I passed through the car park and started the descent by passing more ice and snow along the way until my car came into view.
By now more cars had arrived with more pulling up but there was only two things on my mind, one was despite the harsh temperatures how much I had enjoyed the whole walk, it was one that I had been meaning to do for months and now that I had done it I wasn't disappointed, in fact I plan to return again only using a different route. The second thing on my mind was the flask of hot Vimto waiting for me back at the car which I'd usually take a cup full before heading home but today I finished 1.5 ltrs of piping hot Vimto with the engine running whilst listening to the wind outside.
What a day. |
