With a free weekend to roam I couldn't but help feel a tad frustrated when the forecast put a halt to my walking plans with showers and high winds forecast not just across the Lake District but for north of England extending as far as the south of Scotland. Despite the high winds I couldn't just sit at home doing nothing or worse, wishing I was somewhere else so by mid Sunday morning I decided to head to the Forest of Bowland to walk Parlick and Fair Snape Fell.
I always feel guilty when I walk these fells mainly because they've always been my plan B fells and to be fair both Parlick and Fair Snape Fell are both worthy a visit when the weather is at its best, in fact I told myself that this would be a cracking Winter walk when snow is on the ground so that's a little promise I made myself.
Todays walk couldn't be more simple as my plan is to walk over Parlick to Fair Snape Fell then head back the same way, or it would have been had I not seen the path that flanked Parlick on its east flank which I used on my way back to Fell Foot. |
