Did you know that 2012 is the 400th anniversary of the famous Pendle Witch Trials in which several people were found guilty of witchcraft and subsequently hanged at Lancaster. To commemorate the occasion local author and walker Phil Bedson has devised a long distance trail that takes in some of the key locations in the story of the witches. Get the full story at www.thependlewitchesway.co.uk
| The Pendle Witches Way The first part of the walk takes in the locations around Pendle Hill which are synonomous with the Pendle Witches - Higham, Fence, Newchurch-in-Pendle and Barley. These are the places where they lived and cast their spells through to where they were held and charged. The men and women were then taken through the Ribble Valley and the Forest of Bowland - either by cart or even on foot - to their final place of trial and execution in Lancaster. |

Walking, Trekking, Rambling or Just Strolling
Walking is something most of us do every day, it is part of what we have to do in our day to day lives. But some of us also love walking because of what else it can give us. People have many reasons for turning walking in to a leisure activity or interest, reasons such as fun, keeping fit, wildlife watching, local archaeology and history, map reading, walking the dog, just taking in the scenery or sampling the local hostelries on a pub walk. Walking can also be a social activity or a solitary pastime to gain some peace from an otherwise busy lifestyle. Walking offers us the ability to get away from it all and breathe in some fresh clean air.
Not only that but to make it even better walking as a pastime need not be expensive, all you need is a good strong pair of boots or shoes to protect your feet and ankles as well as some waterproof walking and hiking outdoor clothing to protect you from the rain. To help you think about what you need My Outdoor Store has prepared a list of nine "dos and don'ts" for your walking pleasure and safety
Do wear several layers of thinner clothing rather than just one thick one. This will enable you to regulate your temperature more easily and any way several layers trap heat more effectively than just one
Don't not drink. Plenty of liquids will be needed to replace loss through perspiration.
Do take plenty of protection from the weather. This means sun cream and good walking and hiking outdoor gear
Don't set out without planning your route and make sure it's within your capacity
Do pace yourself so that you will not become too tired too soon. Walk at a pace that you can appreciate what's around you rather than rushing to the end as quickly as you can.
Don't wear the wrong clothes. Strong sensible foot wear is obvious and remember the higher you go the colder it gets
Do go prepared with clothing for all eventualities. The weather can change quickly and so plenty of layers are needed and.sturdy walking and hiking outdoor gear is essential.
Don't forget to tell others where you are going and what time you expect to return, just in case of emergency
Do enjoy it. Have fun and experience the lovely outdoors that we are blessed with.
