Quick Blog tonight ! 

note from dad : GPS seems to have been out tonight !

the Pike

Video taken showing the mast and Horwich and the Pike

 Jake can vault a farm gate in a few seconds now even in the dark

 Bricked up entrance , the other side has also been collapsed  to stop you getting in !





can you see the small brick entrance ?

 Yates plastic brick

 the tramway has been built up with stones

 one of the mine drains in Tigers Clough

I have to balance carefully as its a 4 ft drop on one side plus its a stream and slippy !!!

the stream I have to cross is very fast tonight !

crossing another stream in the dark 

 looking around at the View ! we watched the planes as well
