Pym’s Chair and Windgather Rocks
Sunday’s walk saw us experience four seasons in one day. Starting from Pym Chair, named after a highwayman or local preacher we headed by a good path to Windgather Rocks, a gritstone crag on the border of Derbyshire and Cheshire. No sign of our trainee climbers from the Monday group practising the rudiments of rock climbing. From here we headed to Errwood Hall in the Goyt Valley where the prevailing rain forced us to abandon the planned ascent of Shining Tor and head back for the cars. We ended the day with a welcome drink in The Swan, Kettleshulme , a fifteenth century coaching house. Our walks secretary Mrs Joan Hadfield summed the day up with the following comment::’Pete it was a good walk. I KNOW IT WAS VERY WINDY AND WE HAD SOME SNOW but it was good. ‘ Joan
