I always take my phone, although if I did require the emergency services it may be difficult telling them where I am if I don't really know myself.
I am drawn to this area as it was the epicentre of quarrying for the area around Helmshore. It is littered with abandoned farmhouses, weavers cottages, workers cottages and other stone remains that sometimes are not apparent as to their real use. They all appear to be on old long gone cart tracks that spider web the area, some of the cart tracks end up at the top end of Oswaldtwistle so gives the impression that they were "A" roads of their time.
