Winter Hill, 30 May 2026

My local hill is Winter Hill, and it is a key feature in my moorland playground. I've been walking, cycling, and running on here since late 1996.

I love being here in all weathers and today is a warm Saturday, so there are many other folk out enjoying Winter Hill.

I've seen people sit with their backs against Trig Points, and I've been with people who climbed on top of a Trig Point to get higher than everyone else. Until today, I've never seen anyone use a Trig Point as their Standing Desk. Chapeau!

Winter Hill is the great outdoor playground, just north of Bolton. All too often it lives up to its name, but today it was all warm sunshine.
