eeerrr... no, you don't agree with him. He wants to do the double crossing of the Pennines on his way from the Lancaster to the Peak Forest. To avoid a double passage of the Ashton, he needs to go straight on at the top of the Rochdale Nine and do rest of the Rochdale first, Huddersfield last. -- Bob
