| Comments: | The walk is the Foulridge Beating the
Bounds walk, available on a leaflet. In spite of a poor forecast 18 people turned up to beat the bounds. It was obviously very wet underfoot and when the weather turned wet and we had sheltered under a canal bridge to picnic we decided to return to the wharf by a shorter route! It is an interesting walk with views of Pendle and Ingleborough on a fine day! |
