![]() 60th birthday. What a dismal thing. To console myself I drove to Holmfirth and parked in the carpark by Brownhill Reservoir. I went for a reccey to see was the track on the map alongside Ridge Wood Reservoir open to the public. It was covered with sigs making it abundantly clear it was not. So I took the high path that follows the top of the woods above Ramsden Clough. I followed this as far as Ruddle Clough where I turned left and headed up onto the plateau and the top of Elbow End. A long windy path leads from here to the trig point on Snailsden End. ![]() My next target was Cook's Study Hill. The sensible thing here would have been to retrace my steps along the south edge of Snailsden Pike End and then go north. But I was tempted by what looked like a vestigial path to head directly for the reservoir. This didn't go that well and my feet got very wet. After climbing Cook's Study Hill I followed the road north as far as White Gate where a path leads easily back to where I started. It is lovely up here o n the northern edge of the Peak District with views across to Castle Hill.
