24th December 2010 - Great Hameldon and Cribden Hill

Walk Details

​Distance walked: 11.8 miles

Total ascent: 1794 ft

OS map used: 287 - West Pennine Moors

Time taken: 6 hrs

Route description: Home-Pike Law-Height End-Cribden Hill-Cribden Side-Rossendale Way-Burnley Way-Great Hameldon-Burnley Way-Rossendale Way-Cribden Side-Cribden Hill-Top o'Slate-The Halo-Home

A walk from home across the moors above Haslingden to Great Hameldon and Cribden Hill. The roads were so bad with the snow that if was going to go anywhere I would have to start from home. I've never done this walk before and it turned out to be better than I thought it would be. Definitely an option if I'm snowed in again.
