    Sunday Morning Bimble near Chorley\Bolton

    Hi Folks,

    It was mentioned at the last pub meet about getting out and doing another walk\bimble\meet up. I'm up at Lead Mines Clough between Bolton\Chorley and Blackburn most Sundays and wandered if anyone would like to join me. There is plenty of wildlife up there and a bit of foraging. Would only be for a few hours in the morning as I usually have a few family commitments and to be honest it doesn't take too long to walk around. (Although I probably stomp through it usually, when getting the Dogs out!!)

    Alternatively the South side of Tockholes is always pretty good, specially up around the old manor ruins, away from the crowds that start at the pub\cafe in Tockholes itself.

    No specific dates or times yet, just seeing whose interested.

    Would like at some point to try and get a regular thing going with different walks around the area, maybe a few day bushcraft sessions around the area as we are limited in where we can overnight. I'm pretty happy to share what limited knowledge I have, whether it is a bit of Debris Shelter building (Bring the kids!!) or some cordage making. Providing we are sensible could probably do a bit of fire craft as well - using hobo stoves to contain our efforts.

    So those interested let me know.

    Mike

    same, im in provided it doesnt clash too much with family commitments.. tomorrow is a bit short notice, and cant do next week as my other half is working all weekend, but after that i reckon i can sort it out
    dont worry about leaving me out if you do want to do it either of those weekends, but do keep me in mind for any other ventures please

    on a side note, brilliant idea. good way to get out into the world without having to arrange a full weekend with stop overs.

    Just thought Ian, Haigh hall and Lady Mabel wood are not to far from your neck of the woods, could probably do something around there too. Maybe some foraging along the Canal.

    Thinking maybe Lead Mines Clough for the first one - Sunday Morning of the 2nd June. I've got a family function at 2pm at Moss bank Park so will probably be only the morning maybe 10:00 till 12:30\13:00ish. If that is no good for everyone, happy to take suggestions, however I'll be there regardless.

    my mind reads, we want more money, we arnt making it, so we are going to pay less of you, so we can keep more of it

    Wouldn't be gate crashing, all are welcome. It might just be a foraging bimble, might not be too bushcrafty this time around, but gives us a chance to plan another one.
