LOCKDOWN 3: CALDERDALE WAY SURVEY - MILL BANK to WATER STALLS ROAD

 After several glorious but very cold days , today felt like Spring. The birds obviously thought so too as much of our walk was accompanied by cheery bird song. Lynda and Eleanor started the walk in Mill Bank and wound up the CW through the woods towards Gough Lane.

 

 

 This post at the side of the clough clearly needs re-positioning when we can work 'normally' again, but in the meanwhile we decided to put on a CW waymark to show the direction of the path as it leaves the village. 



A lot of the waymarks have faded to the point of invisibility and needed replacing. This post was at the edge of Flints Reservoir as you come off the moor. 



 

And this one - at the junction of the CW and Water Stalls Road near the decoy aerodrome on Flints Moor. Much cooler on  the tops but great views all round.

 


And finally the very mucky junction of Link Path E and the CW as it drops down left into Cragg Vale. A few days ago the ground was hard and icy - not today! Altogether a great walk out.
