Hazelhurst Cairn views

Looking south from the viewpoint

A lovely day, with sun; warm, but windy. Beyond the bungalow the notice about access being closed has been taken down.
    I set off from the car at 11:50 and was at my cairn inside the hour, having visited the viewpoint also. It is a good day for photographs.

Hazelhurst Cairn from the fell track

I stayed for an hour. It was warm sitting out of the wind on the heather bank.

The view west towards the Fylde coast

   I then set off intending to get over to Fiendsdale Head but on starting on the road round the back of the fell I realised that the journey would be too long and so sought the short route I remember from a few years ago back to the dip in the road above Coolam Wood. The track, for long unused, has disappeared, and all traces of it have gone.

Looking east from the cairn
So it was back down by the wall to Stang Yule. A nice leg stretcher and some very lovely views.
