14 Saturday 2 May 2020 Beamer's Trail
My choice again and I fancied a walk around Hoghton. I found a leaflet for the Beamer's Trail , a 6 mile circular from Witton Park, Blackburn so we did that.
Witton Park's car park was closed but we found a large car park behind some houses nearby.
Despite the closure of the car park, there were plenty of people jogging or walking their dogs in the park although none of the facilities were open. We climbed up through a wood which was very picturesque.
Then the path ran through a field of cattle to a terrific viewpoint at Yellow Hills . The viewfinder had a picture of Wainwright and I remarked to Simon that there was nothing better than cuddling your son on a picture of your hero. We picked out Deepdale and ( just about ) Blackpool Tower.
Eventually we found our way through farming country to Hoghton Bottoms where we had to walk through a gathered herd of cattle at an old farm. We then had to take the ascending path to Pleasington. We had a last stop at the tables outside the pub then took the easy path by the playing fields and back to Witton Park.
After an abortive visit to the hospital looking for a quality takeaway, we settled for some hot chicken from Asda after doing the shopping.
