The final walk of the year and it was a sloppy one, across some very saturated ground in the Bowland Fells, but it didn't rain and the wind was not too bad either, which is remarkable considering the gales either side of this walk. I lost interest on the long boggy slog over to Ward's Stone, so bagged Clough Pike and called it a day. Good to be out, lets hope the weather improves in January!
