Harden Brow

A lovely bright sunrise but then the mist came in followed by cloud. By lunchtime the sun came through again and in that bit in the middle Corinthian Column and I were out walking a 4 mile circuit of the moor.

We walked later than the usual ladies group as C has Granny duties. On my way to meet her I took a detour to make a delivery and although I often walk on this path I hadn't really looked at this old farm before.
I thought it made a lovely picture with it's millstone grit walls slightly out of true and splendid, colourful garden along the drive. This is in the old part of the village above where the mill used to stand.

Not an uneventful walk either. First in the woods on the edge of the moor we came across a group of walkers with a casualty, a broken ankle they thought. The first responder was there so we carried on, don't know how they were getting her to the road but we didn't hear a rescue helicopter.

At the end of the moor, near the quarry, were some vehicles one of which said 'site investigating and drilling' on its side. There are rumours of the quarry being extended so this could support that. Oh our poor heather! They have just been filling in the old one with the rubble from the demolition of the Bradford and Bingley building.

Still it's only what they used to do up here. The rutted stone paths from the iron wheeled carts of the old quarries are evidence of that as well as the crater like shapes underneath the bilberries and heather.

What goes around comes around!
