Start Point: Crookfield Road car park Grid Reference: SD 665 191
Distance: 6 miles Ascent: 980 feet
Time: 2.5 hours
Weather: Sunny spells
Comments: A short walk to check out a couple of alternatives for the walk I am leading on Sunday. The ground was much drier than it was in February and should pride a good end to the walk.

Further along the path this frog hides in the mud . . .

Another frog makes its way to . . .
