Looks like every UK SOTA expedition that embarked on Tuesday
30th December 2009 ended up in an abandonment! To be fair to Richard
G3CWI, he was eager to press on further than Oakenbank Clough (where we turned
around), but I managed to persuade him with the following observations: So to Stalybridge it was, where we found the station bar packed,
but still enjoyed excellent service as well as good beer (Christmas Pud Ale) and
food. On the motorway later we spotted the matrix signs advising of the closure
of the A628 (Woodhead), so it was probably a good job we got out of there when
we did. We had gone for the ambitious long southern walk-in from there after
learning that the A635 (Wessenden) road was closed first thing. |
