Sunday 12th September

Alden moor loop.
Met Nick and Dave at Clough Head Car Park at 9.00am this morning.
Set off over the gate opposite the car park, down to the Reservoirs up the hill opposite to the Rossendale Way, turn left and head up to the chimney. Turn left and once over the train track remains turn right. Over the stile and straight on out over Arden moor until we got to the abandoned farm. It was pouring down, changed into water proof top and away we went again. Dropped off left and came back to the Rossendale way, followed this all the way around the valley - V wet in places. Followedd this up to the Tor, making sure we got the top then dropped off. Quick decent to the valley, then a very long drag back up to Musberry Heights. Dropped off here back passed the reservoirs, back up the hill and back to the car park.
Watch says - 88 mins, in zone 40 mins (70 - 80%) Avg HR 142, Max HR 161, cals 1001!!!
Checked the route out on Google Earth - 10 miles and 2600ft of climbing.
Feeling great at the moment - can deffinately do this a lot quicker. Maybe try next weekend.

Back to Clough Head car park in the afternoon for a 2 mile walk with the family and a few hill runs with the girls apparently just for a bit of fun!
