| Walk: | Slaidburn , Sadler Hill , Newton , River Hodder | ||
| Start Point: | Slaidburn car park | Grid Reference: | SD 713 523 |
| Distance: | 8 miles | Ascent: | 1,00 feet |
| Time: | 4 hours | ||
| Weather: | Dry, cool with sunny spells. Good visibility | ||
| Comments: | Despite the wintry conditions elsewhere, 12 hardy ramblers made the road trip to the village of Slaidburn. We were rewarded with wonderful weather despite light snow on the fells and the forecast threat of further snow later in the day. The walk was pleasing with views of the surrounding fells and the snow cover peaks of Ingleborough and Pen- y- Ghent on the horizon. | ||
