Turton Moor and the Entwistle reservoirs 10.5miles 1400ft

Winter Hill from the climb onto Turton Moor

Zooming in on the Manchester skyline

Winter Hill again as the Top'o'Moor is reached  

The trig point at a lowly 329m 1080ft 

The Blackburn to Manchester railway passes through the Turton Hall
estate. James Kay (inventor of flax spinning), owned the estate in 1847 when the railway was built. He commissioned two footbridges insisting on a Medieval style!

Turton Hall

Lunchtime at Jumbles reservoir....

....and now passing Entwistle reservoir

Starting the climb up through the woods above Wayoh reservoir

A final look across the valley to Bull Hill with Peel Tower just
visible on the ridge

Wolfhole Crag

 Wolfhole Crag and Millers House from Tower Lodge - 

10miles & 1650 ft 

Leaving the little parking area near Tower Lodge
on The Marshaw River Wyre

Wolfhole Crag soon comes into view on the horizon 

The ridge is reached after a couple of hours and Ingleborough,
 the first of the Yorkshire Three Peaks comes into view....  

....then Pen-y-Ghent....

....followed by Whernside with just a hint of snow clinging to the
summit wall

My own summit of Wolfhole  Crag is reached at 527m....

....from which Pendle Hill to the south can be seen as well

Wolfhole Crag is named after the 'Wolf Hole' under the crags
on the summit 

The hole goes back a long away and, on further inspection,
I found a 'dead letter box' with the usual array of bits and pieces. 
It clearly hadn't been opened for many years, given the difficulty in opening it. The last date on the pad was 2009!   

Now on the descent via Millers House

The Brennand valley comes into view,  with its river Dunsop leading
down to the geographic centre of mainland Britain, ie. the village of Dunsop Bridge.

Finally, a last stop at Millers House, where I found the remains of a
part-made but broken millstone.
The rock in this region is called Millstone Grit after its usage. 

Arriving back at the car after a thoroughly enjoyable and
interesting walk.

Ward Stone from Abbeystead 10 miles 1650ft

Leaving Abbeystead along the Tarnbrook River Wyre 

with the Ward Stone ridge on the horizon

Ward Stone is the only fell top I know with two trig points, a
white one at 560m..

 ....and a 'not white' one 500m away across the summit plateau, at
561m (that extra metre was tough climb! 

Not content with two trig points it also has its own weather station!

After all that excitement it was time for lunch
beneath the Mare and Foal rocks....

 ....with a view to the trough as in the Trough of Bowland 

A stark and lonely silhouetted tree on the descent to Tarnbrook
hamlet

Looking back up Tarnsyke Clough 

Looking back again from Tarnbrook hamlet

 Finally, on the approach to Abbeystead,  passing one of the stylish
stone-carved way markers on the Wyre Way, this one complete with a Lapwing, also known as the Peewit,
