| Walk: | Bracelet Moor, Broughton Mills, Great Stickle, Stickle Pike, Park Head Road, Caw, Natty Bridge | ||
| Start Point: | Parking area at corner of Broughton Moor Wood | Grid Ref: | SD 257 931 |
| Distance: | 10.6 miles | Ascent: | 2,800 feet |
| Weather: | Misty all day but mild apart from on the summits | ||

7 members of the group, led by Ray |
||
| Comments: | Unfortunately it was misty when we set out and there was no improvement until we were on our way home. This area was new to me and I was looking forward to visiting three of Wainwright's Outlying Fells. I think another visit will be in order in better weather. | ||
