Yealand Redmayne

A walk to Yealand Redmayne starting from the Cinderbarrow Picnic Site.
Distance: 5.25 miles.
Walkers: Jim C, John R, Martin, Mike H, Jim D, Vic & Anthony

The walk (from LancashireWalks.com) was billed as an 'easy' 5 mile walk. It was anything but 'easy' but an interesting walk.....


Booting-up at the Cinderbarrow Car Park in the pouring rain...hence the brollies.


Black sheep on a farm alongside the Lancaster Canal

The route took us along a disused stretch of the Lancaster Canal.
Notice the brollies are still employed.
(This is the nearest we got to a 'bridge' photo today.)


This weird and wonderful vessel on the canal was clearing the overgrown weeds from the canal. 



The damsons were just starting to ripen

This was the footpath not the canal!
Notice the depth of water.


Finally a drier stretch of footpath.

Our route was meant to pass through an agricultural junkyard.
No footpath signs were visible and it took us about an hour to work out which way the path continued.

Jim identifies the 'Tree of the Week. A splendid specimen.

Is Vic about to explode?
