I hung around in Tesco's car park for 1/2 hr this morning, untill security thought I was casing the joint ! So I thought I'd I'd have a look, no problems as far as Chipping then it becomes a maze of unsigned lanes, after awhile I stopped and asked a local "Banjo player" am I on the right road for Bleasdale ? Nah ! th's init ! well I'm looking for the church Arrgh! up there left left and yer in Chipin can't miss Church ! thanked him and didn't have to squeal ! abit later I stopped and asked an oil delivery tanker, Yes back where you've come and when you get to the No Entry! Private Road! Keep Out! sign it's up there ? and he was spot on it's the green dotted track from Higher Brock Mill passed the school

The team are up there next Thursday around midday, but now I don't think they need to go as you've done it for them. Not a great deal to see really, but as ever some great pics. Thanks Danny and Teddy.

Nice images again Danny. Looks a good spot.

I think John knows of a few other places nearby that aren't that well-known. I was hoping we could get up the adjacent hills aswell, but don't know if there's owt up there. Hope to see y' on Thursday!

There is a geat deal to see at Bleasdale Circle. The site is intact, both inner and outer circles and ditches. The landscape setting is superb. Images are fine, but to get a true sence of place and a real understanding of a site one MUST visit and view it in a lanscape context.

That's OK Ray I was going to give everyone a Bronze Axe from the trove I found there, I'll toss yours in the scrap bin !





see you all next week - watch out for the Banjo Players !
cheers Danny

I was only joking really, thought that would get you all going. No Danny, please please let me have my Bronze Axe, it will come in handy for fighting my way through forests at Earby.

I note that 6 copies of HISTORIC WALKS AROUND BLEASDALE are available on AMAZON for £2.60.

I wrote this book 24 years ago & it was that price then.

Worth a buy.
