Good 20 mile bike circuit with Wessenden Head descent then steeply up to Pule Hill. Low cloud and drizzle initially improving nicely. East to Meltham Cop then Swinny Knoll (prickly ascent from S) and finally the long climb back to final hill - West Nab - my penultimate Ethel.steveb200604/01/2024

1/5 From Wessenden Head we walked along the road to collect West Nab then back onto the Pennine Way up to Black Hill (Revisit) and followed it down towards Crowden to use as a ramp up onto Black Chew Head and along easy path to Featherbed Moss. Then back u to Black Hill (Revisit of the Revisit) and out on the Footpath South West to get White Low which looks miles but walks out and back very well in under an hour. So therefore we Revisited the revisit of the revisit of Black Hill (getting a bit silly now) and finally decided to go home. A lovely round in a very cool June wind.nickywood104/06/2022
