Gwen reports 47 people turned out for the walk to Harrock Hill and Fairy Glen, the weather was dry and not too hot.  A couple of the planned pathways were rather over grown so had to take a different way but as far as I know only one person noticed and like a true walk leader I talked my way round it !  After a steep road climb we reached the old quarry where we stopped for lunch and then continued on to Fairy Glen.  Unfortunately the fairies were not out this time.

Harry reports A cloudy and windy day greeted 18 walkers at Austwick. An easy start was made via the attractive path below Oxenber and Wharf Woods to Wharf after which we took the track and fields towards Crummack for an early lunch stop below Moughton Fell. From here the route involved a short rocky climb to the ladder stile after which an easier gradual ascent was made. Good views were enjoyed from Moughton summit before the difficult crossing of the limestone clints to the path down to Capple Bank, from here we walked across the top of Moughton Scar keeping away from the edge with a mind to the very strong wind. On reaching Beggar's Stile we stopped for refreshments before continuing to Crummack Farm and on via the track and fields back to Austwick. An enjoyable walk which felt like more than the GPS reading of just over 8 mile. Liquid refreshments were enjoyed at the excellent Game Cock Inn at Austwick.

Sunday 4th
Graham reports The leader set off with 6 members with suitable waterproofs that were soon put to use as the rain could be seen sweeping in from the south west. We walked north to New House, a ruined farmhouse then climbed to Pike Side & the Height to pass an old Lime Kiln. Picked up and followed track to the road at Bowland Knotts. We sat in a sheltered corner made up by a wall and large boulder for lunch before following a wall on the east side of the road. This access for all route was once and ancient highway indicated by several Boundary Stones along the way all having large capital letters indicating the parish boundary that they skirted. Eventually came to The Resting Stone, a Millstone Grit outcrop with a large niche of which travellers would have sat in out of the weather. The route now turned to the south. We had to take a wide sweep to the east to miss a large expanse of bog then picked up a wall. We followed this for a while to a branch of a tree that I had placed in a fence on the reccy to indicate where we had to turn off the path. The way now followed a broken wall to a gravel track. We turned left then right down to Dobdale, a ruined building. We continued left down a valley to another gravelled track. Left again then over a bridge then immediately down a slope along a very overgrown path. Eventually crossed a stream and climbed a slope to a stile. Made our way to Hallstead's Farm and followed their access to the road. We turned left along the road for half a mile before going to the right to follow an old wall in the forest. We followed a track to the right to follow some white topped posts back to the cars. Drove to Slaidburn and The Hark to Bounty Pub where 6 of the party enjoyed a chat and a well deserved drink.
Peter T reports 39 members, including 2 new members on their first link walk, set off from Anglezarke on a cloudy 4th of July. Due to the dry weather conditions I decided to take the walk down a bridle way and along the river Yarrow a route which had not been possible in January. We made our way up to Healey Nab where due to the wind the walkers decided to have lunch in the woods rather than on the Nab. Then by popular demand we extended the walk to White Coppice for a quick cuppa and ice cream. We then returned via the new bridle path to the bottom of Anglezarke and on to the car park. 27 of us then adjourned to The Bay Horse for drinks and a good natter.
