description=Musings of an over-the-hill climber and walker living on the edge of the beautiful Bowland Fells in Lancashire.  Thanks for calling in. Days spent in the hills,  climbing, and long-distance walking will be mentioned in various ways. Home and abroad. My climbing exploits are limited these days, with more bouldering than routes, still, I m lucky…;

fells in lancashire thanks for calling in days spent in the hills climbing and long distance walking will be mentioned in various ways home and abroad my climbing exploits are limited these days with more bouldering than routes still i m lucky to be able to keep walking and cycling i seem to be doing more walking than climbing originally set up to provide information on several climbing venues in the area for which i d had various requests i am now using my posts more as a personal diary but you are welcome to visit there is a comment section at the bottom of each page where i would be grateful for your thoughts the photos i insert are formatted for use on a pc or laptop and may display differently on a phone they will sometimes keep enlarging if you click to give a slide show 33 thoughts on bowland climber thomas barfod november 7 2014 at 10 41 am hello super nice homepage you have reply red queen s musings december 31 2016 at 4 24 pm hi i have just found your blog and would like to re blog your tenerife walks as a series possibly using 1 a week naturally these will all be credited and linked back to you as the original writer could you please let me know if this is

queen s musings december 31 2016 at 6 31 pm thank you so much and happy new year to you x reply bowlandclimber november 7 2014 at 1 38 pm ta reply bill w k october 8 2015 at 12 01 am very much enjoyed meeting the three of you shortly after you arrived at the sulzenau hutte on 10th september julia and i headed back round to neustift and have vowed to return next september to walk the full stubai hohenweg looking forward to it very much after spending many years sailing rather than walking your superb and informative blog account and photos will be very helpful indeed in planning and helping to built up the anticipation levels berg heil bill w k p s i would say you re definitely more up the hill than over it reply bowlandclimber october 8 2015 at 12 36 am good to hear from you remember you well i m surprised you found my blog we had a great trip as you can imagine get back there and do it my next trip is hopefully trekking in burma myanmar could be interesting one just has to do these things gute reisen john reply mceff october 18 2015 at 11 05 am ah so this is where you live just stumbled on your gr7 stuff while doing some research i will be back alen mcf reply bowlandclimber october 18 2015 at 9 52 pm i came across the gr7 whilst traversing the alpujarras several years ago pre blogging i ve enjoyed many adventurous trips along it since then the real spain next up are the canary islands this winter gr 131 links them all reply nigel hodson june 24 2016 at 7 57 am hi john how s things hope your still doing a bit nige hodson reply bowlandclimber june 24 2016 at 10 00 am good to hear from you nige i m still plodding on as you can see from my posts give me a bell if you are coming up to craigy john reply jolanda august 6 2018 at 5 08 pm hi i read you wrote a blog about the gr131 on tenerife can you give me the website where i can find it we re going in novembre and want to walk it to and i love reading about it best regards jolanda reply bowlandclimber august 6 2018 at 7 16 pm hi we walked from one end of tenerife to the other which extended the gr 131 route see my posts for information a lot of routes only go from arona to la esperanza but it is worth doing the full coast to coast https www traildino com trace continents europe countries spain trails gr131_camino_natural_anaga chasna in reverse gives some of the route the cicerone guide book gives the same reply ruth livingstone june 10 2019 at 8 34 am wow what a wonderful trail and a great project by the local volunteers i m a very timid walker so i hope there are even more improvements by the time i get there reply bowlandclimber june 10 2019 at 9 09 am i m sure most of scotland will be amazing don t worry about being timid i ve started avoiding cattle wherever possible these days reply rob wenman august 16 2020 at 4 52 pm hello do you have a gpx file of this routes or others in the forest of bowland you can share thanks rob reply bowlandclimber august 16 2020 at 5 11 pm no sorry i don t use gpx reply bill wilson september 5 2020 at 1 35 pm i love mountains and outdoor activities reply saaniasparkle ️ february 20 2021 at 9 42 am me toooo reply monica singh march 2 2021 at 9 36 am i love trekking and climbing in outdoor activities loved the view from the mountain reply martin banfield july 29 2021 at 3 35 pm how about escaping from the silly comments and taking your tarp to provide 24 hour security for those ducks reply bowlandclimber post author july 29 2021 at 3 49 pm good idea but i ve other places to go reply hduk october 26 2022 at 11 20 am with regard to higher birks house the photographs appear on your post almost a round of golf 01 12 shots 4 5 6 7 please remove them from this website or any other site that is available for public viewing thank you reply bowlandclimber post author october 26 2022 at 12 23 pm thanks sorry for any offence i have removed photos 4 and 6 they were not taken from your garden but admittedly over your fence invading your privacy the mounting stone 7 is next to the public highway and the domed outside of your wall 5 is adjacent to the public right of way so i don t feel you can complain about them but let me know i would be really interested to know what the wall structure is was it indeed an icehouse sorry once again for any offence caused reply peter crosbie march 6 2023 at 12 36 pm hi i enjoy your over the hill musings very much in your wanderings have you come across the curious stone structure south of bowland knotts at gr723593 i can t make it out suggestions include a kiln although it s too high and miles from any limestone or a shrine to jacob rees mogg it s about 5m high and consists of very large stones overhanging in a kind of alcove could it be someone s lookout folly if i were technically literate i could perhaps send you photos but i m not peter crosbie reply bowlandclimber post author march 6 2023 at 2 15 pm thanks peter i don t remember seeing that structure but it is on one of my cicerone walks in the near future shame about the picture could you email me it reply kp may 20 2023 at 11 29 am you appear to have an obsession with photographing peoples homes and obviously have no realisation or care as to the danger you could be putting these homeowners in there s a photo where you show the homeowners vehicles on the drive another has the comment million pound house why you have made it easy for any wrong sided person coming across your blog to view homes that are in rural semi rural isolated locations and along with pinpointing exactly where they are you also show their gardens garden furniture cars most of the homes you post are large desirable properties therefore highlighting peoples wealth which is wrong and you should remove these photos immediately there s a site on google which has skimmed your house photos and is selling them for 20 upwards per photo if you don t believe or understand what you have done is wrong then i m sure you re willing to post a photo of yourself your home car to let the world know exactly where you live reply pingback chipping about down by the dougie michael slater october 10 2024 at 6 43 pm worpress is doing its damned best to stop me commenting on your posts reply bowlandclimber post author october 10 2024 at 6 46 pm sorry about that technology is getting out of hand reply john smith june 2 2025 at 9 50 am do you have records that show you have walked the track up to the friends meeting house at sawley some time before 2015 sd 7727 4670 the planning inspectorate are about to investigate by a review of documents as to whether or not the driveway should be recorded as a footpath there is a bundle of evidence at https www lancashire gov uk council transparency dmmos friends meeting house 2015 but more with specific dates or pictures wouldn t hurt reply bowlandclimber post author june 2 2025 at 10 44 pm thanks for that i know exactly where you mean but i have not used it it s obvious from its position that it would have originally been a right of way to the meeting house hope it becomes designated as a profw a case of newcomers trying to make it private reply john smith november 5 2025 at 4 16 pm the investigation has happened the inspectors report is published and we have a dmmo confirmed google can t find it yet but i hope a search for sawley road to green end grindleton will give a good hit in a few days reply leave a reply cancel reply search for follow blog via email enter your email address to follow this blog and receive
