A 4 mile walk through parkland, woodland and briefly on limestone in heavy rain with Derek, Naina and the girls.
Route: From the pub car park in Beetham, north past Heron Corn Mill and into Dallam Park. Following a pause by a tree in sight of deer, doubling back to cross the narrow road through the park to join a footpath to Cockshot Lane. A brief pause in the heaviest rain and then right along the road before a signed left turn to take a long straight path to the bottom of the Fairy Steps. Sadly touching both sides (and thus seeing no fairies) to reach the top with little view back over the estuary because of low cloud before getting lost in the woods and arriving back to where we'd been earlier. Using the iphone to take a bearing to Beetham, reaching the main road back to the pub.
Conditions: Cloud then heavy rain with a very few rays of sunshine at the end.
Pubs: The Wheatsheaf at Beetham for Lancaster Decathlon Gold (and lunch).
