March 4, 2024,Wainstones loop

Loop to the Wainstones from Clay Bank carpark.

Steep start as you walk up White Hill rewarded with amazing views, walk through moors to The Wainstones and loop back through forest tracks (this section was really really muddy)

Great for baby carrying or children who are confident walking.
