Saturday December 16th
Hayfield, Mill Hill and The Shooting Cabin Saturday was fine and dry but windy, so we adjusted our original plans to have a walk from Hayfield. We picked our way up William Clough- the light was lovely. William Clough waiting for us At the top, we sat and had a break and a cup of tea by the direction post. The direction post at the top of William Clough South Head and Mount Famine from the top of William Clough It was, by now, very windy and, instead of going up to the Kinder Plateau, we decided just to go up to Mill Hill, and descend via the shooting cabin. Jacinta on the way up to Mill Hill (Cairn just visible on horizon) The way down was muddy and slightly tussocky, passing several shooting hides, until the familiar sight of the shooting cabin came into view. It proved to be an excellent spot to have lunch and it was lovely to enjoy the sunshine as we ate. From here, it was a short walk back to the reservoir and then back to Hayfield. A shortish (5.8 miles) walk but nevertheles...
