Doorway onto the balcony

Halfway up misty breath!

Don't look up

Or Down!

Just below the top

Looking up the Valley towards Ramsbottom

Bull Hill on the left

Looking to the left of Bull Hill

Towards Bury from the South

Looking down from the top

And again!

Looking down!

Closer to the bottom

The door to the balcony

The last corner before the bottom,
It seemed colder and stiller here for some reason

The first step up!

Almost at the bottom

Bull hill in the distance.
Legend tells that there was a gibbet at the top -
But no evidence has ever been found!

Looking back towards Peel Tower,
Other runners following me!

I think the remains of Grants tower are over there.
That is the Irwell valley. After the turn round place at Helmshore
the route took us back via Summerseat.
