Pennine Ramble

Pennine Ramble
                                     by Bob Moore © 2019

I have rambled through the Pennines, on a lovely summer’s day
to Kinder Scout and Bleaklow , and Scafell not far away
We’d start our hike at Hayfied and head for the Kinder Road
past the Kinder Reservoir, into the Pennine Hills we strode

With Jacobs Ladder and the downfall, and other sights between
with views into the distance, where Manchester could be seen
At the Snake Inn we would stop for lunch, a glass or two felt right
then back out on the Snake Pass Road to find a field to camp the night

We’d ask the farmer was it OK, to stay in the field out there
he said “it’s alright wit’ me,, if the cows don’t care”
A few more hills to climb next day, then time to head for home
down in to Glossop, and catch a train, until next time we roam
