Overview

We are walking up the hill known as Pots & Pans approx 800m ascent.  We will see the obelist commemorating Saddleworth's losses in the two World Wars which can be seen from the valley and offers a wide panorama west towards Manchester. Close to the obelisk is the 'Pots and Pans stone'. This has a number of natural circular cavities which some say look like cooking utensils, which can only be seen by clambering up on to the stone.
