Shaw: Shore Edge, Grand Stand cottages Many, msny years ago, I had a girl friend who lived in one of these cottages. (There were three then, now converted to two).  My only means of transport then were a bicycle and a pair of legs.  Anyone who has ever walked up here from Shaw will understand why I did not visit her very often. But the view is amazing.

Piethorne Reservoir It's always good to explore a new area. Bleakedgate Moor, in the South Pennines south of the M62 is an area I have never been on. As the name says a bleak place, with hard gritstone tracks, tussocky moorland and black peaty bogs. But a warm, sunny day and a pleasant break on the way back from Manchester.

This is Piethorne Reservoir, built in the 1860s, it is one of several reservoirs in the Piethorne Valley to provide a water supply to the people of Oldham.
