Christ Church, Longridge

RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. Despite the rain four ramblers met outside the Church willing to brave the elements.

It was decided to abandon the 8 mile walk in the Garstang area. To please the two dogs, we drove to the Longridge Fell, parking at the Quarry and walked through the forest for nearly 4 miles. The tracks were covered with ice and rain, making conditions underfoot tricky. The dogs, however, had no problems, barking at every stick and running wildly to retrieve it.

Surely this was better than sitting in a comfortable chair in a cosy room looking at the rain?
