A walk and pictures from the Forest of Bowland sent in by friends Colin & Joan Ainsworth. The walk was around 5 miles in length and with around 450 feet of ascent. For those not familar with the area Bleasdale is about 4 miles to the east of the M6 at Garstang just south of the Forton Service station.
