Peel Tower to Halo

Set off early this morning, 9:30ish. Cold but some sunshine and not as windy as yeasterday. Set off on usual route to Peel Tower at Holcome. Most of the roads were free of ice etc but a lot of the pathways still had a lot of snow and ice on them. I took it steady and fortunatley no mishaps. Dan had set off in opposite direction towards the Singing Ringing Tree in Burnley. One call later and both of us met up halfway at Crawshawbooth for a coffee and bacon butty. We set off back towards Haslingden but then followed a footpath past a telecom mast which took us on the Foot Trail. This took us over the top of the ski slope and brought us out at 'The Halo'. From here it was the usaul route back along Kings Highway and back down Manchester Rd and home. Back at about 2:30ish
