The March walk this year involved just a short 45 minute
drive for us to the nearby Trough Of Bowland: my home county of Lancashire’s
area of outstanding beauty. 
I have scaled Parlick many, many times with my kids
when they were younger, and Fairsnape as well. Today it was me, Steve and two
dogs (only one crazy spaniel this time, my Jake).
The walk begins at Fellfoot Farm and you head up an obvious
steep path to Parlick. This is fairly strenuous for a Sunday morning, but well
worth the effort, with lovely views all around.
The walk continues from Parlick to the higher hill Fairsnape. It is
quite peaty off the main path in places, but there is a fine summit trig, cairn
and shelter for tuna sandwiches and Aldi crisps.
We headed back the same way,
but avoided climbing Parlick again by walking along its side. March walk
bagged.
And HERE'S a vid Steve did of the walk...
