Half Way To Bleaklow....
Middle Black Clough.
Forgot to screenshot the OS walking route as usual in case my phone had no signal. Schoolboy error. All I remember is something about having to cross over a stream where there is a fork. Which I did, only at the wrong fork!
Once I was at the top of what my phone cheerily told me was White Stones, and got a signal did I realise I had to do a fair bit of retracing. This was the same point I realised that Far, Middle and Near Black Clough were completely separate from each other. I'd presumed they were all part of the same stream!
Back on the correct path I'd heard and read about how the rocks up to Middle Black Clough were quite hard to negotiate especially if they are wet. Fortunately they were dry and not difficult at all, but can easily see how dodgy they could be.
Spent an hour or so at the falls. Not much litter around which was pleasing to see but I did have to get my feet wet to remove a pair of ladies sandals that had been left right at the base of the falls. The mind boggles.
