Freeholds Top, G/SP-011 - 454m ASL - SD 906 218 - OS Explorer OL21 - 1 SOTA point           

Saturday 12th March 2022 - Freeholds Top G/SP-011, Hail Storm Hill G/SP-009, The Cloud G/SP-015 & Macclesfield v Ashton Athletic

Another 4am start in order to allow me to do lots of things!  Breakfast in Rawtenstall McDonald’s was the first agenda item.

Freeholds Top was approached from the north along the Limers Gate track.  Seems quite a long walk this one - 60 minutes, but gives that feeling of "never getting any nearer" for most of it!  Similarly, the 23 minutes it took to get the requisite four contacts also seemed a lot longer at the time!

With plenty lined up in the schedule and deadlines to meet, I got cracking with the return walk and drove the short distance to Cowpe for the next summit - Hail Storm Hill G/SP-009.
