Diary 2011 – Week 47

Diary 2011 – Week 46
I went for a stroll this afternoon with my dogs that I hadn’t done for a couple of years, so I thought it was time to do it again. It’s a little under three miles and a nice gentle stroll that encircled Higher Rivington Reservoir.
Diary 2011 – Week 45
I was walking across the moors of Winter Hill when I came upon the cairns on top of Two Lads Hill. They reminded me of a story by the late Arthur C Clarke, “The Sentinel” that the film “2001: Space Odessy” was based on.

I had two and a half hours of strolling across Smithills Moor with my two dogs Brett and Sam this afternoon. We set off from the car park on Winter Hill and strolled via Holdens Farm and Gilligants Farm before taking the old Coal Pit Road onto the moor.

On Monday JohnB and I set off for a seven mile walk around the cloughs above the little town of Helmshore, not far from Darwen in Lancashire. The intention was to walk out of Helmshore and up Hare Clough, then to make our way around Musbury Clough and Alden Clough.
