An easy four mile walk from Hornby to Wray

Beginning at Hornby in the Lune Valley, where there is a free car park beside the River Wenning

 

The Weir with Hornby Castle in the distance

Spring had definitely sprung, and the bees were making the most of it.

Dennis the Menace and Gnasher read Crime & Punishment, very fitting!
