Another journey on the threatened 60 bus route!

Sunday October 12th, we set out on a bright, mild autumn day encouraged by the number of other users on this maligned route. But as the bus climbed into the hllls, the clouds darkened and heavy rain started to fall. But we alighted at Kettleshulme and there met Tony and Mavis, intrepid souls who thought the published walk was for wussies only and had already walked from the Cat & Fiddle adding another six miles to their jaunt.
We headed up onto Taxal Edge and made our way to Fernilee reservoir, doubling back from the dam on the other side of the valley eventually dropping down into Whaley Bridge - and the welcome glow of an open fire in the wonderful stone-flagged pub The Sheperds Arms - and an excellent pint of Snowy Peak, from the Red Brick brewery.
