  • A Small Hill With BIG Character - A Hike up Parlick Pike & Fairnsnape Fell
    In this video, we enjoy a family hike to the summit of Fairsnape Fell in the Forest of Bowland AONB. Fair Snape Fell is one of the larger hills in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, England. It reaches 521.9 m (1,712 ft) with a prominence of 226.2 m (742 ft) and is classed as a Marilyn. It occupies a position in the very south of the main range of fells, alongside and just to the north of Parlick, to which it is joined by a ridge. The main paths approach the summit from Parlick in the south, Saddle Fell in the east and Bleasdale in the valley to the west. The Saddle Fell approach is as boggy as the hills to the north. The summit is covered in grass and peat groughs. A trig point and large cairn occupy the top of the western escarpment, with the highest point being about 700 metres (770 yd) to the north-east.
    The word snape means "pasture"; thus Fair Snape Fell means "fell of the fair (beautiful) pasture".
    Considerable areas of the Bowland fells were used for military training during World War II and there are still unexploded bombs in some areas, including nearby Wolf Fell.
    We enjoyed our hike and we hope you enjoyed our little video - Chris, Tom & Emilie

    Nice one fella, I love walks like this over the strenuous hikes that some prefer. For me it's more about the relaxation, taking your time etc;

    Just having a pause of the video to say how good your background music taste is. Absolutely spot on 👍🏻 I have Not Blue on my 'Chill' playlist when I'm heading to outdoor locations for a hike. Great stuff. Good like-minded people the outdoor lovers are that's for sure! 🙂

    Really love how you have kept hold of some of your old school original equipment, like the mera peak jacket and The old rab down jacket etc would be good to see how time has moved designed/ specs on etc over the years also similarly with your tents.
