We set off in overcast weather, making a fast accent up to Ladow Rocks, before which we stopped for a light snack.
Most of the way up to Black Hill was paved, and made for easy going. we stopped for lunch at a cairn just before the top.
The path down was half paved, and half grassy, but we still made fairly good time and were over and well past the road before long.
Taking a shortcut recommended by our host, we followed the old route of the Pennine Way over a damn, saving ourselves a vicious decent followed my a steep climb.
The sun had come out while we were on Black Hill, and shone brightly all day.
We arrived at the Carriage House, a very nice inn, and Tom enjoyed a relaxing bath before tea. The food was very good, and we slept very well in comfortable beds.
