| Walk: | With a dry day forecast I decided on a fairly local walk along part of the Tolkein Trail. The route was very quiet until I started the return section through the grounds of Stonyhurst College. | ||
| Start Point: | Hurst Green Village Hall car park | Grid Reference: | SD 684 382 |
| Distance: | 6 miles | Ascent: | 345 feet |
| Time: | 2.2 hours | ||
| Weather: | Sunny with a cold start | ||
