Bowland Knotts

Being off work this week, and not being away from home in a cottage for a change, means that we can have a few days out and explore more locally.

Today we decided to tackle Bowland Knotts. By parking up just beyond Stocks reservoir it meant that the walk we did was about 8 miles in total. 

What a fantastic walk! The weather was better than either of us was anticipating - blue skies and quite warm for most of the walk. 

Apart from walking close to some cows, which I don't like doing, the route itself was pretty straightforward if a little strenuous at times. But well worth the effort. 

I think we passed two other walkers all the way round! It was so peaceful with fabulous views. 

And then finally back to the van for a well earned cup of tea.

I think we're having a day off from walking tomorrow so that we can recover, ready to tackle a walk in the Lake District on Thursday!
