5th January -- Chipping, Bowland, Lancs
The 'C' group walked out of Chipping in a North Easterly direction, to Park Gate,Dinkling Green Farm, Whitemore and then New Laund Hill for lunch. The return took us through Fair Oak Farm ,Knot Hill and eventually back to Chipping in ever increasing rain. There we were forced to seek shelter in various local establishments !
The B+ walk did a circuit via Doeford Bridge, up the east code of the Hodder valley to Whitewell, then -- cautiously -- across the stepping stones and back across to Chipping via Fair Oak and Knot Hill.
Shepherds' warning (but pretty)			The road goes ever onward...
and here's why we're on the road
The Hodder at Doeford Bridge			Grand house and grounds at Middle Lees
David's C walkers spotted on the other side of the Hodder valley			The Whitewell stepping stones

Pics from the A walk
One stick-in-the-mud			Another stick-in-the-mud

And finally...
			Things get a bit hazy at this stage
