| 2nd hill of the day on a route from Wrightington to St. Helen's bus interchange, having climbed Harrock Hill I took the Track South to High Moor then Parbold Hill with viewpoint and topograph, SE on verge of quarry to Leeds and Liverpool canal to Lees Lane then South and SW; i lost footpath so just took line through trees until found it again to emerge at top with tower. Circled it and checked ground in the vicinity. Disappointing to see crisp packets littering the ground but otherwise lovely spot. Descent onto Beacon Lane stopping at the Prince William pub for a coffee before continuing on permissive path through the golf course and then through Beacon Country park, continuing to Billinge Hill North top. | Dazingdale | 17/09/2017 |
