Not far from the start at Wildboarclough I wasn't feeling over enthusiastic. mostly due to my legs being tired from already doing a meaty walk today.

Following a faint track across the fields at Higher Nabbs

At Oakenclough I followed this road but I had missed the gate which is just to the right off the picture and behind the trees. Fool

This photo is taken from my accidental detour. Shutlingsloe is the obvious hill.

What's it doing right over there? I'm walking in the wrong direction!

I followed this path off of High Moor and onto Quiet Lane

When I got to Macclesfield Forest I followed the well marked signs for Shutlingsloe

Continuing up through Macclesfield Forest

Heading up a path on High Moor

Nearly there. Just a short but steep climb

Last few steps

The top of Shutlingsloe

A nice time of the day to be up somewhere high. The view was great and a welcome change from Bleaklow

Looking down to Wildboarclough and beyond
