claughton on brock

many years ago beacon fell was the place to go at night. now due to the number of burnt out stolen cars all traffic is banned from 10pm til dawn. don't know if this enforced but too old to go driving like an idiot on those single track roads. has all been fenced off with sheep every field

I understand years ago it was the place to take your g/f from some piece and quiet, especially after dark!!

beacon fell

back in them olden times after taking a girlfriend on the back of a flexi framed suzuki gt500 they were only too pleased to get to beacon fell if only to recover from the ordeal of a ride of their life from blackpool. the journey back was always slower.
