off for a walk with his dog. His dog was barking at us but Chris said he would be fine once he had started walking. We headed off a short way along the lane and then uphill in some fields on a path. Once at the top Karen had a few minutes rest and we let Chris head off with his dog. He was heading for Kinder Downfall as well but via a slightly different route.
We continued along a path which wended its way below the plateau of Kinder Scout which gradually gained height. There were good views to Kinder Reservoir and into the distance and we were soon
passing Cluther Rocks. Continuing on the path we reach the gully of Red Brook and clambered up along the gully and were soon on the footpath following the edge of the plateau. We could see
Chris and his dog further along the path heading for the Downfall and we were soon there ourselves. While Chris continued around the other side of the natural amphitheatre formed by the Downfall we stopped just above the top of the waterfall of Kinder Downfall to have our sandwiches.
After lunch we continued on along the plateau edge until we reached the route leading down to
Kinder Reservoir. We dropped down this path which was steep in parts and passed to men struggling up the rough path pushing and carrying mountain bikes - this looked like hard work! Continuing on downwards we crossed a small wooden bridge in William's Clough and we soon walking beside the
wall at the edge of the reservoir. Once passed the reservoir, we dropped down the cobble-stoned path leading to an old sheep wash next to the stream leading down-valley from the reservoir dam
and then followed the lane leading back to the car park.
