First of two highest points reached today. A fairly short uninspiring slog across boggy marshland (wet feet within three minutes of setting off) - but at least its another county-high crossed off! Misty and grey, but dry. For the first time ever, Taffy our Border Terrier wasn't with us, which as it happens was lucky - as dogs aren't allowed across the heathland due to ground-nesting birds.

The high point for Staffordshire is against the county border with Derbyshire at the north-western edge of the Peak District. Featureless with exception of dry-stone walls, the intersection of which forms a sheep fold at the highest point in Staffs.
