Squelchy fields... |
...and more squelchy fields (different colour this time) |
We've got a funny chimmney |
Back to the Wyre, now tidal - I was puzzled because it was flowing the wrong way - tide coming in |
Jungle - many plastic bottles underfoot |
And more squelch - if you really want to enhance your experience, click to enlarge |
Shard Bridge. The walk will eventually finish at the lefthand end after continuing up this right bank to Knott End and crossing on the ferry to come back down the other side |
Massive pylons take electricity across the Wyre |
From Wikipedia:
Out Rawcliffe is a village and civil parish on the north bank of the River Wyre in the Over Wyre area of the Fylde in Lancashire, England...
... The village has one Anglican church, Out Rawcliffe St John Church, built in 1838 in the Romanesque style by John Deerhurst, the year after he had designed Preston Prison.
I think he must have been suffering from depression after the prison experience - this is one of the ugliest buildings I have seen for a while - (Grade 2 listed) |
Did you not get attacked by dogs at Waterside Farm?
ReplyDeleteGet this 'Way' finished and we'll do something more interesting.
bowlandclimber - Saw no dogs, BUT.. I mistakenly took the track from the farm heading generally north west, then when I rejoined The Way, again mistakenly, took the wrong path coming back on myself because it was signposted for Wyre Way.
ReplyDeleteDon't think you need worry the Wyre Way in that area was rather vague. You were lucky to see a Wyre Way signpost.
ReplyDeleteI admire your perseverance. Mud, mud and mud. It's the worst thing about winter walking. (I don't mind the short days because it's an excuse not to walk too far!)
ReplyDeleteBc- Actually it is quite well waymarked - the top side of average compared with most other LDPs i have walked.

Ruth - I don't mind mud too much, but the overall quality must outweigh it and on this particular section of the WW that was debatable.
