Wednesday 10-
The forecast for today was sun. Sun and more sun. So much sun, in fact, that it would have been a crime not to scrounge a day off work and go out for a walk somewhere!
So I went up to Ribblehead area with our Friends Secretary, Joy. We took the train (something I normally don't do) and I was glad we did because the journey itself was lovely, seeing lots of features I'd normally see by car from a completely different perspective!
Ribblehead station, on a hot, almost cloudless blue-
We spent a few hours walking around the quarry near the station and the surrounding limestone area, then went for a cuppa at the small station cafe.
After that, it was up towards Blea Moor, lunch at Force Gill waterfall (I highly recommend that you go there on a sunny day!) and then a gentle stroll back for another cuppa with a relaxing half hour wait for the train. A thoroughly enjoyable day out!

We've got 39 bat boxes to put up in mature trees fringing Loadpit Beck and a small reservoir within the Glen.
