Winter Hill Chorley SD 660 149 Tuesday 23rd September

 This is one of my shorter training routes. As usual, I parked on the small parking place at Hordern Stoops, the high point on the Rivington-Belmont Road. Up the steep northern flank of the hill, minor scramble onto the summit ridge and onto the trig point. Then down the ramp to San Marino's, into Belmont, then up the road back to the car. Recorded in my training diary as a 'PW' - things can only get better! One down (up?) 79 to go.

  Noon Hill, Chorley SD 647 150, Saturday, 27th September  ...also Rivington Pike SD 643 138. Still not straying off the Winter Hill 'massif', this is another of my short training runs. Started from Rivington Top Barn and headed directly to Noon Hill. The cairn has a long history, as revealed by a number of excavations, but was at one time a bronze age burial site. It's not often visited except by walkers and errant fell runners, who recognise it as a fine viewpoint, deserving due reverence. From there my route took me across the moor to Rivington Pike. If you've not been there, shame on you! Enough said. Then back down to the Barn. Three down, 77 to go.
