62 couple of stiles on the way, until you come to a track running diagonally right across open fields. Follow the track uphill and eventually you’ll end up back on Broad Hey Lane. Follow this back to its junction with High Moor Lane and turn right. Immediately after the High Moor restaurant take a left turn up the majestic driveway to the Harrock Estate. Follow the driveway (ignore first footpath sign) and once the driveway bends to the left, take the footpath which branches off to the right and follow this path uphill to the highest point of the walk, near to Harrock Hill Reservoir. The path bends to the left at this point; follow the path out of the woods, round the left hand side of a copse and follow the right hand perimeter of the field, heading towards another wooded area. Climb over the stile and turn left following the path downhill. When you reach a 90 degree right turn, carry on a few yards and negotiate your way over a drystone wall using wooden steps. Follow the path downhill squeezing through gorse, over the stile and via a steep descent through a field until you reach a farmyard. Walk through the farmyard in the same direction until you reach Jackson’s Lane. Turn left and follow this quiet country lane until you reach Bannister Lane where you turn left again, ready for your final challenge; a 550 yard uphill climb to the car park atop Hunters Hill, where a couple of benches await you for a welldeserved rest and those panoramic views. Where’s Jack? Now and again, we get an enquiry from readers asking about Jack from Jack’s Tracks, our series of local walks. Namely, who is Jack and why doesn’t he write for the magazine anymore? Just for the record, Jack’s Tracks was named after Jack, a border collier who lives with the Publisher’s in-laws in Billinge. A rescue dog, picked up in Jacksmere Lane in Scarisbrick, Jack’s picture was often included in our early walks. As the picture illustrates, Jack’s alive and well and recently completed a coastal walk of Anglesey. He’s often seen in Orrell Water Park, pulling his owners in the direction of Madisons cafe. There are now over 60 Jack’s Tracks walks from the local area, all free and ready to download at www.locallife247.co.uk
Motoring 63 Buying a Used Car? Buying a car is a costly business, which is why it makes sense to check out the used car market where you can save thousands of pounds. Unfortunately it can also be fraught with problems if you don’t get it right. Here’s how to minimise the risks and give yourself the best chance of finding a bargain. Research Once you’ve decided on the type of car you need (based on your particular priorities with regards to comfort, economy and space), research the costs to purchase, tax, insure, service and fuel it. Bear in mind that although older models are often cheaper to buy, they can be more costly to run and may work out more expensive in the long term. Fact Find Have a list of questions to ask the seller before viewing the vehicle. Find out about previous owners; the mileage; the condition; how long the MOT and tax have to run; whether it has ever been written off, in an accident or stolen; if it has any
