Dist:0.1km<br/>There is a stile at the beginning of this section, but there is no way out of this field at the other end. The path is still clearly marked on the map. The field is becoming a wooded enclave which isn't a bad thing.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Nor any other map I've looked at. I had to detour round to the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is a tidy farmstead situated on the western slopes of Hogshead Law Hill. View looking SE.

Dist:0.6km<br/>We are often reminded that farmers are the stewards of the nation's countryside. Why is it then that so many of them cannot be bothered to keep their own yards tidy? £millions are spent on grants to improve countryside access - and what do we see when we get there? This load of rubbish! End of rant.

Dist:0.8km<br/>A path joins here from the right, but it is little used.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This is more like a fence, and someone has sensibly placed a couple of stones to help people to get over. The "RW" means Rossendale Way.
