7th May.
The day started very gray with low cloud but dry, slowly lifting to a warm day with hot sunny intervals.
Up by Rakes Rocks, Ladder Rocks and Roundhill Moss to Black Hill. All sounds good but couldn't see any of it properly.

| Looking down into the cloud |
The cloud lifted from Black Hill onwards and by the time I reached the burger van parked conveniently where the PW crosses the A635 at Wessenden head the sun was coming out.

Onward across Black moss between a string of reservoirs to the A62 where the LDWA had a checkpoint for one of their challenge events.
 |
| Hang glider over Standedge |
After walking along Standedge there was another road crossing, the A640, followed by a climb over White Hill.
The café at the A672 crossing was closed but it wasn't far to the M62 crossing.

| M62 bridge |
The traffic was thundering along the motorway but I was soon away from it going along Blackstone Edge.
Down to The White House pub, I noticed a good place to pitch a few hundred yards before the pub so, after filling the fuel tank. I retired for the night.

18 miles walked 1000 meters ascent.
