No views!!

This Saturday we set out with the intentions of showing Mallorca Mick the delights of Saddleworth Moor. As we got the tops near Holme Firth the fog was so bad we couldn't see a deal of anything. Fog in August?

Lunch was taken in the very nice Penny Lane cafe found up a cobbled path. The decision was made to take the shorter route home via Holme Moss and woodhead before the weather got worse.
No wind at all on the Moss climb which is a first for me. I did feel sick climbing so soon after lunch. Woodhead was like a motorway and after Flouch we turned right and headed over Strines. We call the climb Deliverance but that has nothing to do with its gradient although that is scary in itself. With that out of the way it was blue skies all the way to the Nags for a pint. In toe for this ride we had a couple of friends from Kiverton CC who we don't see to often in the hills TT guys don't usually do hills but it was nice to see them. Great day despite the lack of any great views.
