If I remember rightly, this was a forum meet organised by me for an autumnal walk into the Valley of Desolation from Bolton Abbey. The mad fool attendees were me, Brian, Peter and Ed.
The Valley of Desolation is far from desolate!
 |
| It's that unnamed bridge again (from my Simon's Seat walk) |
 |
| Leafy woodland footpath |
 |
| Fantastic views down The Strid |
 |
| Looking the other way |

 |
| Out onto the open hillside now |
 |
| Looking across to Barden Fell |
 |
| Love this wooden man sat on the bench |
 |
| ...with a Quirky Curiosity in his hat! |
 |
| Lovely, rusty autumnal colours on the hills |
 |
| Ed assuming if he looks at the floor the camera can't see him! |
 |
| Mossy walls, leafy lanes, birdsong and tranquility - this is what it's all about for me |
 |
| As it's October, the Bolton Abbey Estate have created a Halloween Walk (spot the pumpkin) |
 |
| Returning along the low-level riverside path - along The Strid (River Wharf) |
 |
| Sunlight casting it's glow on the fells |
Another lovely walk that didn't disappoint. Probably about 8 miles.
Thanks for looking 😊
