What a magnificent day, clear blue skies and a gentle breeze just look at those photos! Eleven scooters and an army of walkers set off back along the tarmacked track.
After a short rest in the shade of farm buildings we headed out on to open fells. We had now been going for about three miles and the absence of trees, bushes and other cover was being noted.
The shooting lodge was our lunch stop and provided some shade this time, on my last visit, in the same week six years ago we huddled in there for warmth and to get out of the wind and rain. That day 19th July 2008 we were in danger of hyperthermia today it was sunstroke.
We completed 9 miles over beautiful moorland tracks and we would like to thank the Duke of Westminster and his Estate staff for allowing us up on the moor. Special thanks to Duncan Byrne, Ian Clarke and the Wyre Valley team without whom we could not have had this memorable day.
