After a warm week, the weather was turning on Sunday morning as we set off towards Whaley Bridge on the train. It was cloudy, with some spots of rain in the air, and getting windy.

This was the longest and toughest hike we have done this year, and it is a real achievement for those Scouts who took part to complete this hike.
