To Great Hill and Round Loaf
Today my friend John and I decided to take the dogs for a stroll across Anglezarke Moor to visit Great Hill and the Neolithic burial mound called Round Loaf. The hot conditions made it hard work at times for me, but the excellent views made it well worth the effort.
Winter Hill Panoramas
On some of my more recent walks on Winter Hill I’ve been taking panoramic videos, so I thought you might like to see them. If you wonder what the strange noises are on the sountracks it’s my heavy breathing. As with most of my pictures, Brett and Sam take every opportunity to hog the camera.
Searching for More Waterfalls in Lead Mines Clough
My original intention was to walk up Lead Mines Clough and then onto Anglezarke Moor, with the destination being the Bronze Age burial mound. Instead I went in search of more waterfalls in the clough. The result was an interesting walk with, for me, a rather scary moment.
Finding the Waterfall in Lead Mines Clough
Some time ago I saw a picture of a waterfall in Lead Mines Clough, so today I took the dogs for a walk there to see if I could find it. Whilst I’m not certain I found what I was looking for, it was nevertheless a very enjoyable walk.
Memories of Other Walks
I haven’t been out much these past few weeks, a small health problem (happily now sorted) and a knee injury keeping me confined to barracks. So I thought I’d drag out a few pictures to share with you that bring back memories of other walks.
Circuit of Anglezarke Reservoir
This is a nice and easy five miles walk that takes in country lanes with lovely old houses, and woodland trails with detours that you can explore if you have the time. We started at the head of the reservoir and kept it in sight for much of the walk, and although the weather didn’t look too promising I’m glad to say the rain held off until I was back home.
A Pleasant Afternoon’s Stroll
This afternoon I went for a walk with John, a friend of mine, and his daughter Lisa to try and find a waterfall in Lead Mines Clough. After parking the car at the entrance to the clough we walked along the path alongside the River Yarrow that feeds Yarrow reservoir and Anglezarke Reservoir. About 1/4 mile along the clough we climbed up the side of the hill to the memorial pillar that was erected where a Wellington bomber had crashed during the Second World war.
