B Walk - Clougha Pike with Stuart Arnold
8 miles (12.9km) with 500ft (152m) Total Ascent
Meet at Jubilee Tower, Clougha Access area (Sat Nav: LA2 9HJ), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.
This is a circular route starting and finishing at Jubilee tower on the Trough of Bowland road about a mile out of Quenmore. We will not be climbing Clougha Pike as on a recent recce the underfoot conditions were atrocious. If the weather is fine and we have had a dry spell I could be persuaded but it is unlikely. Instead we will walk down through Westfield house round Damas Gill reservoir and on to Booth Hall Farm.
On this tour of the Quernmore area we will cross Damas Gill at Heversham House, Sparrow Gill at the bottom of Waste Wood and Smithy Beck at Borwicks before our return back through Westfield House. This is an interesting walk in an area probably not covered before and therefore should be of interest to all.
