Ribblehead Circular, a suitable “snowed-up” walk.

By Hugh Stewart March 3, 2015 Leave a Comment

That is, walk 11 in the “walks from the……stations” book. Not high level, you won’t get lost, but it will take longer than 3 hours if the conditions underfoot are bad.
Took 3 and a half hours today.

Mountain Biking Adventures: Multi-day Routes in Northern Britain

Over the last two decades, mountain biking has developed enormously as a “sport”. We greatly admire the technical and athletic capabilities of modern day mountain bikers and recognise that many excellent guides have been written and custom-built trails set up. In this guide we try to reopen a sense of adventure and wilderness to mountain biking, providing multi-day routes with a remoteness, continuity and “arc” missing from many modern guides with their focus on day and half day outings.

UK £13.95 ( inc. P&P)

At only one spot are the hands required for balance, near the top. It can be done from Scales, (best from Comb Beck car park),

Addition to the book of Trespass: Warcop.

This is an 8 mile walk over Little Fell and down and along the side of Scordale. A wild, lonely, and in places rough walk, with 2100ft of climbing. The trespass refers to the fact that most of the walk is in the MOD's land, with access granted by them on 12 weekends per year and other odd days. The
