For you guys round by my way and Chorley ways....
I believe there is a little lane over rivington that brings you out near winter hill... Has anybody done it?
Been told its only short but a bit of a laugh

The top is easy to find, drive up georges lane Horwich (opposite the jolly crofters pub) and keep going right up to the tower(pike) keep to the left and the top of the lane is there, it takes you down to a car park nr rivington village.

someone took the farmers fence down where the little table top is. and all those mudmuppets that keep going up there chewing it up are doing no one any favours.

but it is a nice little play area.... Wink

Ive spent over 2 hours up there this morning putting things back to normal, some kind person had moved rocks to make deep damaging potholes and also put some sharp rocks in strategic places Rolling Eyes

I bet they had woolie hats Evil or Very Mad

I'm glad I found it and not some unexpecting mountain biker Shocked

mate of mine does alot of mountain biking up and around rivi, he says they also find rocks and things left in strategic places, deliberately placed to cause harm! and says its not kids. Evil or Very Mad

One of the things they had done is remove rubble from infront of one of the steps at the top, making a large but passable step into a deathtrap, another was sharp rocks wedged into the walls of the rutts Evil or Very Mad

Funny thing is that walkers use the footpath at the side of the lane Rolling Eyes
