Comments: | A very pleasant start but ongoing felling on the top track had left it very churned up and muddy. A decision to follow a track down to the road took me and Luna along very boggy stretches then across marshy fields. A brisk walk along Old Clitheroe Road quickly took us back to the car! |
The top track is completely churned up . . .
due to the forestry work, felling trees
A side track looks more inviting . . .
as Luna shows the way
A second side track has almost disappeared by the time I reach the stile . . .
which is also disappearing on the opposite side!!
