Walk:

Lower Lane, Alston Reservoirs, Meadow Head, Ox Hey, Frances Green, Ward Green, Written Stone Lane, Tootle Height, Tan Yard Lane

Start Point: Home    
Distance: 6.3 miles Ascent: 446 feet
Time: 2.5 hours
Weather: Sunny spells with a cold breeze
Comments: Decided on a local walk because of the uncertainty of the weather. Crossing the fields was made easier because the grass had been cut and was, in some cases, awaiting collection.

Looking across to Longridge Fell

Looking across to Longridge Fell

A grassy section . . .

where Luna decides . . .

it's time for a break

A large field with lots of room . . .

but the cows prefer to stay near the fence

The path through the woodland is much easier to follow than it was in winter

The water level in the Spade Milll reservoirs . . .

is still very low
