Three Towers, Three People and just a bit longer than three hours.  Ok we were five hours.  The sun shone and the breeze blew us gently round. After the first trot up Peel Tower from Ramsbottom we were nearly diverted into abseiling down it but didnt want to lose our focus.  Although Darwen Tower wasnt actually in our focus, i think we could only make out the Welsh hills and Blackpool Tower.  It was still way beyond our view.  The Witton Weavers were wayward and wandered all over the hills, even using ditches for paths and at one time even put into doubt our expert map-reading skills! But we couldnt miss the welcome sight of Darwen Tower, totally exhilarated, or was it totally knackered and only half way!  The route became familiar as we headed for Great Hill and back along Georges Lane.  Never has Rivington Pike been so magical to see.  We even made the last run up it and with great achievement in the evening sun - nearly bedtime!
