The first of our regular walks for 2013 was, unusually, a straight walk. Salter's Way, along the top of Salter's Fell is a little unending, but for peace and tranquility it is second to none. We met just two walkers and a group of bikers who were riding along the Way. Aside from that we did not see a soul.
Getting to the start of the walk was an experience in itself. Dropping one car in Hornby (the end of the walk) we were given a lift to Slaidburn. Although the straight walk was just 9 miles, the sat nav indicated a 30 mile trip as we had to drive around Bowland and then in from near the Yorkshire Dales.
This was an enjoyable enough introduction to the walking year, but I'm not sure I'd hurry back to do it again.

| The road to Hornby at the end seemed to be never ending. |
