Roych under snow

Roych Clough

To

Chapel Gate

10:45 and were are off, roych Clough for a bit of navigation training and general walking. A good friend of mine John Beard accompanied me on my journey through some of the most beautiful parts of the Peak District. We started from Rushup Edge and joined the track to South Head, taking a right turn at the old ford heading up into Roych Clough.

A slightly covered gate on the track in, still lots of snow dunes to negotiate. On and upwards into the roych. Some interesting navigation for John as he had not walked this route before. On the way in there were some excellent cornices hanging off the crags at Roych Tor.

We took a slightly different line and headed onto the top of the tor so that we could hand rail the wall for navigation purposes which would take us to a nice sheep fold for a brew stop.

Some interesting features along the way, huge cornices in the fields.

Stratagui

Headed up and out of the Roych, over the track to Brown Knoll and over to the lip of the moor looking out towards Jacobs Ladder. Brew stop at the old sheep fold on Horse hill tor then off on a second nav exercise to the cairn at the top of Colborn moor top from Dalehead Fm

Tired dog after a long walk.
