ok so not really much of a 'fell' walk but a steep little hill to climb anyway.its less than 200 metres High is Whalley Nab,but the small steep hills I sometimes find almost as hard as the biggies. We did a 7 mile walk all around Whalley yesterday and what a beautiful day it was. Whalley is a large village not far from Pendle Hill. Its a very posh and scenic and well kept village too. We got to walk by the river calder,walked through several woods,fields of sheep and through the village itself. we saw squirrels and rabbits aplenty... but as Amy said 'at least we havent had any cows to worry about' just as she said that i saw in the near distance a whole field of the buggers! we dont like cows and they certainly dont like Henry! thing is we were 5 mins off the end of a long walk..
They can be quite intimidating.they moved at first one or two and then most of them towards Amy and Henry. I told Amy to get going ahead and run. before she could do that one of them came right up to her. She chased it away! I told her i would get between them and the cows. they move right up to you but are reluctant to really go for you.. but you never know! i was surrounded by the buggers almost! but with Henry and Amy further away they slowly lose interest.
the pictures at the top are: 1. me and Henry at Spring wood picnice site(the start of the walk)
