30th January 2015 - Cribden Hill

Walk Details

No route map and description. I set off from home and made my way up to The Halo and the top of Cribden Hill, the hill which I live at the foot of.

A snowy track will take me to Top o'Slate, the site of The Halo

An information board provides some interesting history about the local area and the old packhorse routes and turnpike roads that ran past this way

I went down to the lane below Top o'Slate so that I could get a clear view towards a distant Forest of Bowland
