What a morning! Strong winds howling around the house almost kept me in my bed, but glad I struggled out, enjoyed the outing – setting of with YJ, IK, EtU and Matt. Headed out to Healey Nab passing the cascades (below) which were in fine fettle with the overflow from Yarrow down to Anglezarke res looking amazing. Went back with FSS on Sunday to get another shot for blip (see right hand side of blog) and the flow wasn’t nearly as strong, but with a better camera I was able to get a smooth flow effect. A few more snaps of the morning here.

Here come the boys - you know who you are!

White Coppice, where YJ left our company. IK turned for home at Drinkwaters
Some Chorley runners showing off in shorts ! At the shelter on Great Hill
As planned the wind was behind us going up Great Hill, but we could barely stand up when turning to head for Spitlers. At the stile we decided to head back along the valley, following Dean Black Brook back to White Coppice to take the bridleway to Watermans and head back below the quarries.

Above and below the Brook at the fall just above White Coppice – the wind was so strong it was blowing the water back upstream.
A good outing giving just under 13 miles, which given the conditions wasn’t too bad.
Later in the day FSS and I went out to the coast – a few pics from Fleetwood below with more here if it’s of interest.
Not out Saturday in North Lakes – have fun
