Dunnow Where Bowland Is Tues 5th Nov


 

 

 

Leader: Robert Lowe

Number on walk: 13 plus one dog

Distance: 14 miles

Weather: Dry and windy

 

We started the walk from Newton, and set off across the fields to eventually reach Croasdale House. More fields to regain the road at Hawkers, and then over Merrybent Hill. We crossed the Hodder over the tall footbridge near New House, and then descended towards Stocks reservoir, where we stopped for lunch in the picnic area. After lunch we continued to follow the path round the east side of the reservoir until we reached the overflow and dam. The field paths then led us past Hammerton Hall back to Slaidburn. We then followed the field paths alongside the Hodder to return to Newton. Photos can be seen 'here'
