This is the perfect time to do the Bowland Dozen, after a long period of dry weather. However, this can bring have problems like fires and dried up streams....only thought of this en route to Wards Stone (2/12) and quickly thought of a plan. Places/memories are gifted the dozen and only my seventh visit to this area. I volunteered at Slaidburn YH one year and did a recce of some of the Dozen. This ridge was not on my list. Slaidburn YH wonderful. Ran by the YHA for a peppercorn rent. A simple, basic hostel. Let it remain that way.

Splendid day, good views, good condition. I'd guess they erected this when the discovered that Mallowdale Pike primary was in a crap position!

Cant ever remember visiting two trig pillars so close together. No more than a 10 minute walk between the two even over this sort of terrain. Gritstone outcrops are worth a look around, lovely views if you like heather and peat hags (which I do) and a great place to walk if you dont want to be bumping into loads of other people all day.

8.5 mile walk from Jubilee Tower to bag Wards Stone trigs, then round to Pendle Hill. Icey, ground rock hard.

The trek across Cabin Flat is booby trapped by pink grass that covers lakes and ponds of stagnent water. Avoid the Grass

Horrible wet day, for a visit to Ward's Stone and its two trigs. The idiot gomls who waymarked an agreed route have channeled folk into a hideous eroded scar which no doubt they use to justify their attempts to keep the hills to themselves
