Thursday 21 May

What started out a wet dismal morning turned into a wonderful day, we immediately started looking for plants.

We began in Clitheroe Castle's grounds, then around the streets and back alleys. Then we had our lunch at Brungerley Park near the bridge, we did part of the sculpture trail and then onto Cross Hill quarry.

Bugle
Common Milkwort
Twayblade

This is Giant Knotweed x Japanese Knotweed - sometimes called Connolly's knotweed.

A really good day, considering the rain was coming down like stair rods on the way up. Never did another drop after I got there.
