With a very poor weather forecast for today’s walk I decided to do a scramble that I have wanted to do for some time. With having the dogs I have never got around to do it so I decided to do a 13mile walk to find some plane wrecks then leave the dogs in back of the car while I did Wildboar Clough. The weather had been really bad all day so I think the dogs were happy to get back to the car and wait while we tackled this scramble. We made our way along the Trans Pennine Trail to the sign marking the start of Wildboar Clough. The first part is through the wood area as the trees started to thin out we got are first view of the clough, the water was really high causing the water to be flowing really fast.
