Longton Brickcroft and the Marshes

A bit of a bitter sweet day today.  12 years ago the Preston Walkies Blog was born, the day the clocks went back. It was a fantastic morning in Malham which we repeated on the 10th anniversary. Sadly no Finney to walk with today but happily Marley also awoke early so there was no excuse not to take him on a lovely walk around Brickcroft and down to Longton Marshes.

With not a cloud in the sky and plenty of autumn leaves still on the trees, Brickcroft was stunning.  By the time we’d walked past the Dolphin Inn it was still glorious, with the sounds of wildfoul drifting across the marshes.  As there were no other walkers nearby it was a good moment to give Marley his first countryside off-lead experience.  All went well, with a little play and happily a good recall.

It was good to be back out in the countryside.  Not a lot has changed (and that’s good) since our last visit, except the various stiles have been replaced with gates making life much easier. Think Marley enjoyed it and he’s now asleep on the sofa!
