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 07
It was a lovely sunny afternoon with little wind so I decided to take the dogs for a walk over Smithills Moor.
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.
Diary 2012 – Week 02
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.
Diary 2011 – Week 19
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.
