Autumn Images of 2011
This is a short selection of pictures that I took during my walks in September and October that didn’t make it into any of my posts but which nevertheless I thought you might like to see.
Afternoon Stroll from Garden to Clough
The weather looked like it would be kind to me today (ie: not rain) so I decided to take a stroll through the Terraced Gardens at Rivington then return via a descent through Tigers Clough.
Diary 2011 – Week 41
I had decided to go back to Tigers Clough today to see if there really were three waterfalls but ended up exploring its upper reaches along a path I never knew existed.
Diary 2011 – Week 40
It was a nice dry and warm day today, so Brett, Sam and I took a leisurely stroll up to the Terraced Gardens in Rivington.
Diary 2011 – Week 34
I had a great afternoon meandering around old and new paths in Rivington today. The first part was spent wandering around Tigers Clough taking pictures of the waterfall and the River Douglas.
Diary 2011 – Week 32
On Monday JohnB and I set off for a seven mile walk around the cloughs above the little town of Helmshore, not far from Darwen in Lancashire. The intention was to walk out of Helmshore and up Hare Clough, then to make our way around Musbury Clough and Alden Clough.
To Darwen Tower the Long Way Round
I’ve been to Darwen Tower on numerous other occasions, usually via a straightforward route. This time I decided to approach it by a more round about way.
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.
2011 Diary – Week 9
I have passed by this spot many times before but never gave it much attention. However, today for some reason it caught my eye and, although the overcast sky didn’t provide an ideal light I still thought it would be nice to get a shot of what I saw.
2011 Diary – Week 8
It was a nice sunny day today so I decided to repeat last Thursday’s walk from Rivington to Lead Mines Clough at Anglezarke. Starting near Rivington Green the walk went past Yarrow Reservoir then into and around Lead Mines Clough.
A Lovely Day For a Walk
The weather was great for walking today, cold but dry and sunny, so we had a very pleasant five miles stroll taking in moorland and woodland on the way.
