Black Hill & Black Chew

Black Hill is the highest point in West Yorkshire (1908ft) and Black Chew is the highest point in Greater Manchester (1778ft)
Setting off along the Pennine Way from the Oldham to Holmfirth road over Saddleworth Moor

The first objective - Black Hill - The Holme Moss transmitter mast is just visible 

Holme Moss was one of the challenging climb section of The Grand Depart of the Tour de France recently
