13 August 2020

Went for a great walk with Peter. One of my all-time favourites. Shining Tor, Cheshire's highest peak rises above the Goyt Valley. The climb to the top from the car park is relatively easy even in this heat. There are good views from the top and then a ridge walk to Pym's Chair via Cats Tor. The return to the car park passes the ruins of Errwood Hall which feature in Alan Garner's wonderful book The Moon of Gomrath. A great day out. The only disappointment was the haze.
