| Walk: | Sharp How, Flasby | ||
| Start Point: | Lay-by on A59 | Grid Reference: | SD 987 527 |
| Distance: | 9 miles | Ascent: | 1,150 feet |
| Time: | 5.5 hours | ||
| Weather: | Mist and fine snow to start, clearing by afternoon | ||
| Comments: | 15 walkers set off into the mist across the golf course and the steady climb up to Sharp Haw. Enjoyed the snow walking but no views. Down to Flasby as the mist began to clear. A steady climb past New Laith took us back through the woods round the south of Sharp Haw. Looking back there was Sharp Haw in full view, and the skyline showing a nice sunset. An excellent walk that allowed the child in us all to enjoy the crunch of the snow. | ||
