Comments:

With a dry, sunny day forecast we decided to do a local walk to Ribchester. This was mainly across fields with many, many stiles!! At one difficult looking stile the path beyond looked steep and very muddy so it was decided to take a different route from this point. Footpaths were difficult to follow in places adding extra time and distance to the walk. However, it was good to have decent weather for a reasonable length walk.
