Windgather

Filed under: General — Mike Chapman @ 9:31 pm

I learnt to climb here. I saw yellowhammers for the first time and listened to their song. A friend had a climbing accident here about 35 years ago. Windgather was a place to be introduced to the delights of rock climbing. As Lynne Judy and I started our ride it started to rain and then hail. We passed Windgather and had to navigate a number of cars filled with young people starting their climbing apprenticiships. Lynne commented that it was unlikely that anyone would want to climb when there was rain and hail. She has a short memory or mine is more sensitive to the need to go climbing.

This is not Windgather but a view close by. The Peak District has Peaks around here
