Five of us out today for the medium ride over Tatham Fell, past the Cross of Greet.
Leaving Gisburn and heading out the usual way through Rathmell, then up through Eldroth, and past Clapham Station on to the road to Bentham. Then, to ease the oncoming gradient, round to Wray for lunch outside Bridge House Farm, where they had Swings and a Roundabout to distract us from the climb ahead.
After lunch we tackled said climb up to the Cross of Greet for amazing views of the Three Peaks. After a short recovery stop by the Cross, we carried on to Slaidburn for well deserved Coffee and Scones, before returning via Bolton-by-Bowland.
Amazing day!
Incidentally, the Cross of Greet is listed as a Grade II listed building: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1163268 even if it more resembles a Grade II listed rock-with-a-hole-in-it. Obviously we treated if with appropriate respect.
