Walk near Earl Sterndale 12th January 2008

A nice sunny but cold day so Karen and I went for a walk not far from home starting at Earl Sterndale and traversing Chrome Hill. This and the other nearby hills are remnants of a coral reef many thousands of years ago and are formed from limestone. We started our walk near the pub in Earl Sterndale with the interesting name of "The Quiet Woman" and an even more interesting pub sign! On the way around we walked up part of Dowal Dale passing Owl Hole which is a cave I spent some months digging in with other members of the Orpheus Caving Club which lead to interesting and well-decorated extensions of the cave.
