Walk: Tootle Height, Written Stone, Ward Green Lane, Buckley Hall, Buckley Wood, Singleton House, Lord's Farm, Ribchester Road
Start Point: Home    
Distance: 6.4 miles Ascent: 596 feet
Time: 2.5 hours
Weather: Drizzle, sun and a short heavy shower
Comments: A break in the weather gave me a chance to explore some footpaths walked two or three years ago as well as some more recently walked. The footpath between SD 637 357 and SD 635 358 was particularly hard to navigate with the footpath looking most unlikely to be the correct one.

along with blue sky

A very slippery footbridge that's nearly falling into the fast flowing stream
