Over the hills and far away, we set off for a stroll one day. We passed 'shinybrook' at 'hollin brow knoll' walked to the reservoir and over the toll. We met two hikers and asked them the way, they said carry on and have a nice day. So we did carry on and followed behind, we didn't know where to but we didn't mind. Around the rock face and to the waterfall, then climbing again and that isn't all.
At the top of the rock we became a bit daunted the expanse of the moor seemed as though it was haunted, for miles there was nothing but flat marshy land, I felt apprehensive but Hubby took my hand. We struggled and tripped losing footing and grip, hubby fell in the mud but his pants didn't rip. At last we saw fencing and there was a gap, thank god, a road, let's look at the map.
We caught sight of the men who had guided us there, sat having a rest one with mud in his hair, we pretended we knew just where we were at and casually said we had enjoyed that.
Little did we know we had far to go.
We were near to Marsden and to get back to the car, we still had to walk for two hours or more. We met man and wife who told us to climb 100 steps, we took our time. At the top we decided to have our lunch, we sat on a bench and started to munch. Ten minutes later we picked up our bags, we'd eaten our butties and smoked our fags.
Now seriously we had to dig in our heels to get back home, the good thing was we had a set of wheels.
