Alport Castles

Having had a frustrating few months with my knee, aggravating it every time I've been out, I'm hoping to get a few walks in over Christmas/New Year. I need to be careful as we're starting to get near to the ski season!


Having left the car at Bridge End, I took the steep path up on to the ridge, and then on upwards to Alport Castles. From there, there is a path down Ditch Clough to Howden Reservoir. Despite it being the holidays, there weren't too many people around. Even Fairholmes wasn't too busy - and the cafe was open :)

(Technical Data: distance = 14.5km, ascent = 425m)
