The steps up the "Wutchie". 20 years ago I could climb these steps no problem, I would probably have to take an oxygen bottle with me now. Ho well.

antar, I don't know if the steps are still there, it's some time since I was over that way. At the time that I took this photo there was a path all the way across the top. You could walk from one end of the Wutchie to the other.

Last time I climbed - the 5 peaks of Wutchie with my uncle in the early 1960s I don't recall any steps or bushes just loads of spoil heap with the odd bit of rough grass. I muest go back to Aspull someday and revisit before I need the oxygen bottle.

I remember when the steps were built and they are still there I get up them often, good keep fit exercise, but I don't rush it anymore.
