Overview

A gradual ascent from Scorton leads up to the higher ground behind Nicky Nook. From here there are extensive views over the Fylde, Morecambe Bay, the distant Lake District and nearby Bowland fells. Return is down the lovely Grize Dale. Mostly on good tracks with few stiles. There is a possibility of some mud after rain.
