Whitbarrow Scar

28/4/2018

 
Venue: Whitbarrow Scar
Date: Saturday 28th April 2018
Weather: Breezy Fine Sunny
Leader: Graham Thomas/John Wilson
Party Number: 11


The party of 11 set off from Millside then walked up into the village, turning right towards Back Head then a track to a farm ending up in the forest. Followed this to a point above Whitbarrow Lodge. There were great views over the lower ground including Foulshaw. Followed to Ravens Lodge then left continue to Rawinsons Farm. The path led up through the garden then into Rawinsons Wood. By following tracks we climbed up onto the tops. The scenery was superb with Limestone Outcrops and stunted Gorse and Junipers.  
From a stile in a wall we turned for home and followed a path that went to a zig zag but before we went to the overhang that looked down the a farm.
We descended through the wood to the original path and then just to the left found a path to Low Fell End Farm then left back the cars.
Went to Foulshaw to view the Ospreys that were nesting in the top of a conifer.
A great day out and the weather was find to us.
