High Pike Hill, High Seat & Mallerstang edge from Outhgill (Yorkshire Dales) 11 miles 1900ft

Hi all Lancashirecam followers!
My walks resumed  today - at least until we get locked down again! 
I am now attempting to get fit again before attempting a planned sponsored walk of the Preston 'Guild Wheel',  a 21 mile
circuit of the outskirts of Preston,  Lancashire. 
The walk is in aid of a charity I'm involved with - The Rwanda Group Trust, which sends all funds raised to our partners in Rwanda to be distributed to the poorest of the poor. 


The Covid 19 virus has resulted in starvation for many of the people we aim to help. See

very remote 'Ravenseat farm' home of the Owen family, popularised in the TV series 'Our Yorkshire Farm'
