Counting Hill is a fairly nondescript 'top' on another of my Winter Hill training routes. It lies nearly a mile SE of the top of Winter Hill. Many folk travelling along the gentle ridge on which it lies will have passed over it without being aware that it has a name, although its existence gained some exposure locally when it was included in 'Coope's Dozen' (an informal challenge round based on Winter Hill) about a quarter of a century ago. From there it was round the east end of Smithills Res (aka the Hidden/Secret/Dean Mills Res) then over Two Lads (name refers to legend of two shepherd lads who died in a blizzard there many years ago) then over Rivington Pike (already counted) and back to the Barn. Nothing really to report on this outing, other that it was a fine clear day and the count is now 5 down, 75 to go.
