dry-valleys:

At Sutton Common, a Cold War communication tower, following the lead of Jeff Kent, a legendary local authhor whose guides to hills in Staffordshire  and Cheshire have launched me on so many walks. This is my first-ever visit to Sutton Common and Croker Hill, on which it sits.

Croker Hill is an older sibling to Bosley Cloud- (2) is the Cloud from Bosley Reservoir, start of my walk, (3) is the summit of Bosley Cloud in September, (4) is Sutton Common from Bosley Cloud- you can just about see it behindd me- and (5) is Bosley Cloud from Sutton Common. Also visible are (9) Jodrell Bank and (10) Shutlingsloe. 

In Jeff’s opinion, Sutton Common “blights the landscape for a long distance around” but I disagree, I love (this may be a male thing)  “collecting” communication towers, and after my visit to Fen Park last month I’m definitely pressing on to Pye Green, which I’ve never visited.
