Join Kevin and Mark on Easter Monday for the second of a series of walks in and around the picturesque Forest of Bowland in Lancashire.
This walk starts in the pretty village of Chipping, from where we'll set out across farmer's fields (some potentially boggy) in the direction of Parlick, one of the Bowland Fells. After a steep climb to the top of the hill, we'll follow the course of Blindhurst Fell towards Fair Snape Fell. Here we arrive at the highest point of the walk (510m), which is crowned by the oddly-named Paddy's Pole. Leaving Paddy and his pole behind, we go cross-country towards Saddle Fell, from where it's a gentle descent through farmland back into Chipping.
In total the walk is about 8 miles.
