Do you ever wonder what it would be like to have breakfast up high? Are you from a land where there are no hills, where you get no views up high, be it Holland, Chorley or the Fens. Do you champ at the bit to watch the orb rising in front of you? Do you every dream of walking towards an event and smelling the food cooking
Well you shall find out by meeting at the given coordinates on the 30th day of April 2016, at 0700 ,and we shall have breakfast as day starts. The expected end time of the event shall be 07:30. The Breakfast at Sunrise tradition arisies out of the Tups Solstice. Now you may wonder what is the Tups Solstice? It is an event local to the Bury and Ramsbottom area, where geocachers get together, appreciate the outdoors and have a chin wag and fun. The Tups Solstice also heralds a tradition known as the Rammy Breakfast, which so far has been encountered on Holcombe Hill, Knowl Hill, Little Holder Stones, Turton Moor, Crookstone Knoll and Fair Snape Fell. It will be sliced sausage on this occasion.
Hail Storm Hill sits on the moors to the north of Greater Manchester, with the event site being 470 m above sea level, it is classes as a Marilyn, Hump and Tump, whilst nearby at Top of Leach is a Trig point, which is also a YOSM.
The views from Hail Storm Hill are expansive, from the Bowland Fells and Dales to the north, to the Peak District to the south, there are also plenty of geocaches in the area.
The event is in a remote moorland area, you are responsible for getting yourself up there, and also off the hill, though I have provided some trailheads which I have used in the past to get up here.
