We diverted from the track into the Leverholme Park gardens. Here we are almost at the top of them with the Pike in sight - Damian, we're a little closer to the Pike.

Monday 5th March 2012
Damian up from London again. Suzie went off to Radio Blackburn with Trudie and Lloyd while Damian and I went to Rivington - it was a lovely sunny day, cold wind but otherwise great.
We parked at the car park on the northern side and set off up the track to Rivington Pike.

A gentleman asked us how to get to White Coppice. After a while I remembered that I had a map! It was cold and windy at the top despite the sunshine so we set off walking down and followed the track to the tower and then turned right along another track down to the Belmont Road.
We walked along the road westwards until we came to the path which leads back to the car park. The path looks quite innocent but it was very boggy and difficult in places to find a place where we didn't sink up to the top of our boots. I'm coming back over the bridge in the middle photo looking for a spot to sit down in the sun for lunch. We had our sandwiches and walked back the the car, which was over the horizon in the middle photo.
