| Time: | 3 hours | ||
| Weather: | Wet, wet, wet | ||
| Comments: | Although the forecast was for heavy rain, fifteen people joined the leader for a circular walk in light rain. Leaving the Yarrow Bridge Hotel the group followed the River Yarrow valley before heading towards Anglezarke Reservoir. At the reservoir the group met a large group of walkers from Bolton and a small group of school children from St Helens who were on a Duke of Edinburgh Scheme or similar. Leaving the reservoir the group joined a road to Nick Hilton’s Bridge and then crossed fields and the M61 to skirt Chorley Golf Club. A short walk along the Leeds/Liverpool Canal led to a path that took the group to the A6 (Bolton road) and then to the Yarrow Bridge Hotel. Here a well earned lunch was taken. A few muddy patches and wet grass but this didn’t spoil the walk. |
