Bracken Lane

 Bracken Lane

Today's circuit takes us from Hall's Saddle up the Pipeline Track to Fern Tree, Via Fern Glade Track and Silver Falls Track, across Pinnacle Road and down Bracken Lane 


Meeting at Hall's Saddle

Heading up the Pipeline Track with evidence of water pipes and old stone aqueducts and piers.

At this point the group divided.
On the low road (continuation of the Pipeline Track)...






On the high road (Fern Glade Track)...















Which way now?
Turn onto Silver Falls Track with plenty of fungi
