The first objective was Wildboar Clough. This was green, slippery, and unfriendly, but was ascended without incident. Steve Smith’s photo captures the essence of the day with some of our number in almost Victorian poses. Scrambling in the Peaks is somewhat idiosyncratic, and will never offer the delights and excitement of Scotland, or North Wales, but it certainly adds some spice to a day’s bog trot.
