Update ~ Chipping Trigs ~ Saturday 19th July

YJ and I are planning to make the inaugural assault on the three Chipping Trigs on the above date. It'll be a mix of road and fell with an earlyish start ~ all welcome.

The trigs are Fairsnape : GR 590468, Beacon Fell : 568428 and Longridge Fell : 657410. There are other trig points in the area, but these three are well spread around Chipping, are good vantage points and involve a decent amount of climb (main purpose of outing?). We'll work to Coope's Rules which are simply that any route can be taken which is either a public (or concessionary) right of way or open fell; the theory being that for small numbers there is no need to ask permission and we shouldn't upset anybody.

Start and finish point will be somewhere near the Sun Inn, the steps to the churchyard and the Cobbled Corner Cafe (depending on ones particular area of interest). Just need to agree a time.

There is ample parking behind the village hall, indeed, if the weather is particularly bad the event will be held in the village hall.

I considered letting Bowland know, but if we don't, at least we'll hold the record for a while.

Grateful for any extra company.
