'Am I a supplemental?'. No Lottie you're just mental. I put OL41 on the floor to plan a future foray in the Forest but Lottie is having none of it. Maps seem to hold a compelling attraction to felines, especially when placed on a sunny floor. Casting a shadow over this larking about is big brother Charlie. Here they are behaving better http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2731097

Summit of Warton Crag. Pockets in the rock provide a home for herbs.

Dist:0.1km<br/>As seen from the slopes of Warton Crag, the lights are just coming on in north Lancashire. Clougha Pike on the skyline.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Being next to a road and with popular paths close by this kiln has been fitted with rails, steps and a grille over the hole at the top. There is also an information board on top.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Due to the recent rain the low-lying land south of the village has become a seasonal lake.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Car park on the edge of Warton, the start to many an ascent of Warton Crag. The quarry has been a popular climbing ground in the past (many holds are polished to a high sheen) but is nowadays sadly neglected and getting somewhat overgrown.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Warton Small Quarry has some pleasant mid-grade climbs which are rather neglected in these days of indoor climbing walls, bouldering and sport climbs. This is the tallest part of the quarry and shows the route "The Leaning Tower" VS 4c first climbed in 1968 by Stew Wilson and S. Bradford.

Dist:0.3km<br/>That could be a peregrine falcon carved on the back rest, they do nest in the quarry beyond the trees.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking over Potts Wood and Warton village to a snow-covered Ingleborough. The crag is just east of the summit and is referred to as 'Upper' by rock climbers to distinguish it from other nearby outcrops on Warton Crag.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Well, it may not be Changabang but Yorkshire's finest mountain certainly draws the eye whenever it's in view. This is a zoom shot which has the effect of compressing much of the intervening country. In the (relative) foreground the ornate building beyond the white houses is probably Borwick Hall http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2173255. Ingleborough is some 2okm further on.

Dist:0.3km<br/>These 8 to 10m tall outcrops of limestone catch the winter sun and can be climbed on virtually all year round. The prominent prow holds a route called 'Space Walk' (grade HVS 5a) which is apt due to the plunging slope below which provides instant exposure. Beyond the houses of Warton rises a snowy Ingleborough.
