Diary 2012 – Week 13
I had ideal walking conditions for this afternoon’s walk across Smithills Moor following the old Dean Ditch. It was nicely warm, but not too hot, and with a gentle breeze.
Diary 2012 – Week 09
I hadn’t done this walk for at least six months so I thought it was time for a revisit. The weather has improved as the week has gone on, and this afternoon was bright and sunny – spring can’t be too far away.
Diary 2012 – Week 08
Had a 3hr walk with Brett, Molly and Sam along the part of the Witton Weaver’s Way footpath that forms the border between Darwen Moor and Turton Moor.
Diary 2011 – Week 46
I went for a stroll this afternoon with my dogs that I hadn’t done for a couple of years, so I thought it was time to do it again. It’s a little under three miles and a nice gentle stroll that encircled Higher Rivington Reservoir.
Diary 2011 – Week 44
I had two and a half hours of strolling across Smithills Moor with my two dogs Brett and Sam this afternoon. We set off from the car park on Winter Hill and strolled via Holdens Farm and Gilligants Farm before taking the old Coal Pit Road onto the moor.
Rivington to Anglezarke and Back
With the weather decidedly damp it was a day for keeping to the low terrain, so the dogs and I took a stroll from Rivington to Anglezarke Reservoir and back, taking in paths I hadn’t been on for some time.
Rivington to Hempshaws via Old Rachels
A walk of just under six miles on a warm and sunny July afternoon, from Rivington to Lead Mines Clough across rough pasture land and passing three farm ruins. I’ve been around these paths many times previously but never in an anticlockwise direction, so I thought it would at least make the views a little different.
Diary 2011 – Week 11
Yesterday I had a walk through Lead Mines Clough and then took the path that lead past several farm ruins on the lower slopes of Anglezarke Moor. Part of the reason for this walk was to take a look at how the River Yarrow made its way through the valley on its way down to Yarrow Reservoir with a view to seeing if I could walk its length later in the year.
A Walk Through History
Today’s route was something of a walk through history, visiting an ancient monument to a bygone age and passing close by several derelict farms that gave echos of a hard life long since passed into memory.
Photo Art
From time to time I like to spend a little time with Photoshop to produce simulated art from some of my pictures taken during various walks. I present some of them here for you to stroll through, hope you like them.
Great Hill via Dean Black Brook
Today John and I had a walk up onto Great Hill via the very picturesque Dean Black Brook. Although the path alongside the brook is not shown on the Ordnance Survey map, and in places needs some care in negotiating, it’s well worth a look.
