I hadn't even heard of The Roaches till a few weeks ago! Curiosity got the better of me though..!
 |
| Not long after leaving the car I passed some friendly, inquisitive folk beside the singletrack road.. |
 |
| A nice pleasant amble along the road beneath The Roaches..
|
 |
| It was very windy on the walk up and along the ridge, it made taking photo's very difficult..
|
 |
| The trig point is impossible to miss and provides excellent panoramic views. |
 |
| The ridge path gives a good view of Tittesworth reservoir.. |
 |
| Doxey Pool (I should have collected water here as it's the only place I came across up high). Hindsight eh?! |
 |
| I wandered round to the front of the rock face in search of water, pausing to watch the climbers doing their thing. |
 |
| A couple of interesting little caves were found in my search of water..
|
 |
| I eventually found a stream, a few centimetres in depth, it put the Travel Tap through its paces! |
 |
| Found a nice pitch away from the crowds.. the only problem was the incline, easily remedied by placing my pack under the lowest part of my sleeping mat.
|
 |
| My meals for the trip, the noodles went down a treat after a hard days slog!
|
 |
| Had my usual choice of coffee's too!
|
 |
| The view from my temporary accommodation while the noodles were hydrating! I kicked off the boots and enjoyed the scenery! |
 |
Dusk time with my lighting on.. shortly after this I hit the sack, I slept like a baby while the strong winds were blowing through the treetops.
After my standard camping breakfast (Wayfayrers all day breakfast and a coffee) I packed up and made the short stroll back to the car :)
