Comments: Adding this walk 19 years after the event, it is a glimpse into the past when the groups walked together to celebrate the group's annivesary. It is a reminder of the large numbers that used to walk regularly at the varying levels and highlights how much the group has changed in 19 years, especially with the difficulties caused by the coronavirus problems.

Time to don the boots . . .

as we gather . . .

in the car park . . .

and listen to the leader

Taking advantage of a little shade for our break

Reaching the mast on Winter Hill . . .

the photographer takes the opportunity . . .

to try out the various angles . . .

before moving on

Time for another pause . . .

before continuing on to . . .

Smithills Hall . . .

which dates back to the 1300s . . .

and the Great Hall being built in 1335

Enjoying our Anniversary meal . . .

it was time to . . .

catch up with friends . . .

and meet members from . . .

the various groups . . .

and now time to look back at a glimpse from the past
