A walk to Mow Cop
 |
| Approaching Mow Cop |
Woke up to a warm sunny morning. Time to get the walking boots on - 6 mile walk up to Mow Cop a hill with a castle on top only the castle was never a castle it was built by a rich landowner. We could see for miles all around. Found a nice stone chaise longe for lunch. Followed the heritage trail which passed two chapels and two churches - all locked. Also looked for Hannah Dale's grave. She was an 11 year old who died weighing 33 stone due to a rare disease. Her father included "Child of wonder" on the stone - we couldn't find it. Also found Old Man of Mow a stone left by quarrymen.

Path down was quite gentle. Glad to get back to the boat for a cuppa as by now it was very hot.

Decided to stay put and enjoy the sunshine. Walked along to bridge 87 for a drink at the Rising Sun before sitting out for dinner and cow watching!
