Walk: Tarnbrook and Marshaw, from Jack Keighley's book, "Walks in the Forest of Bowland", published Cicerone.
Party: Marcus Nyahoe, Steven Hornby, Peter Rees
The previous day had seen high winds on the Fylde coast, but on the drive up to Abbeystead it appeared that we had struck lucky. The weather was clear and bright, and seemingly calm. This impression was soon proved to be erroneous as we started to rise to the higher ground. By the time we got to Hind Hill the wind was almost gale force, but descending into the valley brought an eerie amount of calm.
This was a great walk. We've used Abbeystead for the Christmas walk before, albeit not this route, and I can confidently say that I'll be coming this way again before long.
