    Now, I wasn't sure what to expect after reading the title including White Nancy. So much beautiful greenery...and the rock walls in all directions! Do enjoy the folklore...and now I know the story! I'd say that you had a great adventure to share, so thanks for that. Take great care now and hope you have an amazing rest of the week. Bruce and Otis

      Ha ha , yes enough said 😁 But, innocently named after a horse apparently! Thought you'd enjoy the walls! I think a lot of them were connected with the old cotton mill. An interesting little walk! All the best to you & Otis!👍

    Good morning Des, popped you on the big screen with breakfast this morning, thanks for the company and sharing your walk with us, lovely looking area. Signs of the wet May in certain places, washed the mud away hahahha! The old cotton mill was a nice spot too, we have a few around us and I wont lie not 100% certain of there uses, might have a dig about! Loved all the old stone walls too, laiden in moss, could almost smell them. Lovely views down from the trig, what a little corker! 🐑♥️ Thanks for the share Des, stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat 👍♥️☕🌞

      Hi Ceri & Kat! Knew I'd make it onto the big screen eventually! 😁 Loads of interesting ruins from old industry on this walk. I could find very little info on the web. A lot of it is very overgrown and with signs warning of imminent death 😁 so just had a nosy from the path. Great little walk! Hope you are both well!👍

    Hi Des Great walk. I'm always in awe how detailed your walking video are. Have you thought about being a walking tour guide? I think you would be great at it and you h seem to have huge knowledge on the areas you walk in. The sheep at the top were hilarious..Baa Baa Bored Sheep !!! lol lol You do all the walking and they steal the limelight. Like the folklore about White Nancy. Looked a fun walk with some brilliant views. Hope your keeping well and looking forward to the next adventure. Take Care 😁👍🥾🥾

      Hi Scott! Very kind of you to say so, but not sure I've got the patience for that 😁 Very odd sheep around there! They never used to be like that before they got to UA-cam stardom 😉 All good here mate! Had a great couple of nights camping this week. Hope all is good with you👍👍

    Plenty of mud on the path but with such a wet May, the greenery looks great with plenty of running water but summer seems to be about 3 weeks behind Up North. White Nancy was defo unusual mind and as a commemoration of Waterloo, a bit of a strange one but it really stands out. Nice little walk out, cheers Alan

      Hi Alan! Yes, I always find these follies a bit quirky and strange. The countryside lower down is really lush and green now, but I've noticed a lot of the high moorland is still bone dry. Hopefully we don't get any serious wildfires this year! All the best & have a great week!👍

      As kids we took sledges up there! Brilliant fun and not a care in the world or a thought for “keeping safe.” Kids falling off getting bruises etc, all part of growing up and learning about life, its dangers and hardships. My morning paper round took me from the Top of Hurst Lane up to Kerridge, along what was called “the Rally Road, down to Clark Lane, (lovely at 6am in the middle of winter.
