Thought i'd share the pics from my latest outing.

I got the train from Stockport to New Mills, then followed the River Goyt up to Fernilee Reservoir. Then I went up into the plantation (with some nice semi natural bits) on the Western side of the reservoir and set up camp for the night.

The next day I woke up and walked back to New Mills pretty much due North across the moors in the sunshine! Plus, found an antler - I'm guessing Red Deer?

Was great, hope you like the pics.

Hey Stooboy - I took the rope with me (its one of the £shop washing line jobs- I'd recommend it)
Andy - Yeah just on my own, nice to get out in the piece and quiet once in a while! Ill defo bring it, although I just stepped on it, so a bit of glue is required!
QdanT - I took enough food and drink that didnt need cooking so didnt bother in the end - I dont drink tea/coffee either!

Thanks everyone for their nice comments :)
