Day 39 - Standedge to Hebden Bridge

This is Stoodley Pike, and the view into the Hebden Bridge valley below. Now on the Pennine Way, and this was a day of high walking over wide empty moors, and along remote full reservoirs. My dad is walking with me for a few days. The last time we walked the PW was in 1998. In the morning, before ascending Blackstone Edge, came the crossing of another motorway, the M62. And this was fuelled by the best fried egg roll and coffee from Brian's van (just off junction 22 of M62 on the A672 - go there!). Brian has been there for nearly 38 years in all weathers - even taken up there by the police in deep snow - and hasn't lost any of his sense of humour. He told tales of previous PW walkers, including the Naked Rambler himself.
