Bus into Manchester, train to Glossop, over the tops via Doctor's Gate, Mill Hill and the Kinder Scout plateau to Edale,
a pint in the Old Nag's Head, train back to Manchester, bus back home - and all for a fiver... (except for the pint
in the Old Nag's Head which unfortunately isn't included in the ticket..!)
Mainly sunny, cloudier for a time in the afternoon.
The Doctor's Gate track crosses Shelf Brook, Bleaklow.

Ashton New Road, outside the City of Manchester Stadium. Bad timing - I caught the end of the Manchester City
home match with Aston Villa. I should have had another pint and got the next train. Stuck on the bus for about
half an hour - I could have walked home in that time but I didn't fancy fighting my way through the crowd.
City won 4-1.
