9th December -- Barnoldswick (aka Barlick)
The A walk headed firstly up Weets Hill then over towards Gisburn, heading back via Bracewell then into Barnoldswick and the Fountains Inn.

Like the As, Bill's select B walkers started up Weets Hill by way of Duck Pond farm and the large metal bust of Pablo Zabeleta. Heading south skirting Blacko Tower and West to Admergill. Returning to Barnoldswick by way of Peel's House, the Pennine Bridleway and Letcliffe Country Park.
Exotic ruminants			Refuelling
The C walk headed toward the canal for short stretch before crossing over the fields in the direction of Thornton. Then headed back towards the canal before once again going over the fields to the north of Barnoldswick, eventually turning back toward the town from the west.
Tranquility
Swinging on		lock gates		proved irresistible!
Exotic poultry
And finally...
	Merry Christmas in "Barlick"
