The weather has picked up,i hate walking in the rain,so after setting off from Chadderton,I'd decided on Tandle Hills. It takes me just over an hour of walking to get there,from Royton, Rochdale road looks so long,then you turn onto Tandle Hill road & that's another long walk,it may have been cold,but by now i've warmed up. Reaching the gates,my final goal was the monument up at the top,this looks out all across Oldham,Rochdale,Manchester & a far,especially on a good clear day.(this wasn't one) Then it's only one way & that's down,i took the steps,careful when wet,when you reach the bottom, still a few different ways to go. On this occasion while i was heading back,i had two deer run out in front of me,i never knew they were up there.. Making my way back,plenty of others walking & using the park. There is a cafe,with outdoor seating,but today it was closed,take your own it's probably cheaper.. Overall at this current time it's a place to let your problems & thoughts blow in the breeze.

When on a visit this Sunday. Very clean and the gardens and plants were nice. The glasshouse and observatory were being done up and will be lovely when finished. A boating lake with cafe was very busy and I noticed a lot of statues of local people in this park. Definitely worth a visit.
