Dist:0.1km<br/>The combination of some sun, some clouds, and a dry day makes for perfect walking conditions in the Dales. The little square building on the right of the lane is the Helwith Bridge water treatment works.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This sheepfold is in the corner of Long Lane at its junction with the B6479. Helwith Bridge is in the middle distance and behind that is the Dry Rigg Quarry. On the far right of the photo is the Arcow Quarry.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Looking towards the junction of Long Lane with the B6479. Across the valley is the former Helwith Bridge gritstone quarry, which is now a fishing lake.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is the junction of Long Lane with the B6479. The signpost on the right reads 'BW Dale Head 2 3/4' and also carries the logo indicating that it is also the Ribble Way. In 2009 Long Lane is now classified as a BOAT - Byway open to all traffic.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This unnamed stream, alongside the B6479, has already crossed Moor Head Lane at the ford -[[1441598]]. It continues under the road to join the River Ribble south of Helwith Bridge.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This small gateway is close to the junction of Long Lane with the B6479. The stone gatepost at the left hand side of the gateway has a bench mark - see [[1448841]]

Dist:0.1km<br/>This bench mark is on the north east gatepost of a small gateway at the junction of Long Lane with the B6479. The gateway is not wide enough for a vehicle and appears to be out of use - it was also heavily protected by a sea of nettles and thistles when I found it.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This signpost is at the junction of Long Lane with the B6479. The post clearly shows that Long Lane is classified as a BOAT, whereas in 2007 the sign simply said 'BW DALE HEAD 2 3/4. It now states: 'Byway open to all traffic Dale Head 2 3/4 Ml' Note the sea of nettles and thistles guarding the small gateway with its bench mark [[1448841]]
