Enjoying retirement
In The Red Rose County
We found in Cornwall that doing a walk the other way round sometimes gave a completely new aspect. So today we did one of our regular walks in the opposite direction. We started at The Rum Fox in Grindleton. We climbed up the main street, quite steep, and soon entered the open countryside. Doing the walk this way was a revelation. We saw less of Clitheroe's cement works..... ......and much more of Pendle. We also went down to the hydro house (beautifully restored), instead of climbing the very steep path from it. We were soon at the little stream that we follow down to the River Ribble. For a change we saw several fish rising (lots of flies about). And we had a lovely stroll along the river back to the centre of Grindleton and our pre-booked lunch at The Rum Fox, which was very enjoyable indeed, more so since I wasn't paying! As in Cornwall, the walk had taken on a new aspect that was much more pleasing in every way. We shall do it 'backwards' every time now.
