Diary 2012 – Week 04

I took the dogs for a 2hr walk on the east side of Winter Hill this afternoon and on the way managed to get a couple of pictures when the sun struggled through the clouds.

Sunsets seem to be like buses at the moment, none for ages then three come at once. I must say though that I didn’t expect one today as it was drizzling rain when the dogs and I set off for our afternoon walk through the Terraced Gardens at Rivington.

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 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.

I had a very pleasant walk over Smithills Moor this afternoon with Brett and Sam. Six miles and 4-1/2hr of tennis ball throwing – Brett and Sam did about 12ml chasing them.

Diary 2011 – Week 18

I took a walk through Wilderswood today, not having been there for some months and curious to see how the woods looked after the mass tree felling operation last February and March.

Winter Hill and Smithills Moor

This was an 8 miles walk on a sunny but extremely windy afternoon, during which I traversed a great deal of moorland and visited a remote reservoir that once fed one of the local mills in a bygone age.

Diary 2011 – Week 13

I took my dogs for a stroll around by Burnt Edge this afternoon, and although we didn’t actually cover much ground we did manage to get through two hours of ball playing. As with Monday’s stroll in this area I took a few pictures of the tree near the old stone wall, but this time I tried it from a couple of different vantage points.

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.

2011 Diary – Week 3

Brett and Sam have been looking rather scruffy of late, mainly the result of wading into too many muddy pools that they come across during our walks. I know they’re just being dogs but I decided it was time they were spruced up a little.
