Windgather Rocks


We parked at the car park next to Erwood Reservoir in the Goyt Valley not far from Buxton, then followed a path along the side of the road heading West to the viewpoint at Oldgate Nick.
There was a gate leading onto a path crossing a section of moor, and we followed this for a short way to then follow the minor road to Windgather Rocks.
It was about cool and dry but windy, so Karen and I walked along the bottom of the rocks passing quite a lot of rock climbers then sat in the shelter of a large gritstone block to eat our lunch.
We then continued onwards across fields the turned right following a path rising next to woods until we reached the side of Fernilee Reservoir and followed a path through woods along the side of the reservoir until we arrived back where we started at the adjacent Erwood Reservoir.
