Bradshaw - Soil Hill Walk and Local Fields

An early-ish walk up to Soil Hill, along the summit path to Ned Hill Track.

Back home via Percy Rd, Taylor Lane and Bradshaw Lane.

Calm and Dull at home a bit windy and damp on the hill top.

Quite an interesting outing (for Soil Hill) today with a few birds about.

When I got home Abi wanted to play football in Holmefield park - I'm sure she's trying to kill me off.

A real old mud bath on the football pitch.

I ended up 4" taller than I set off with the accumulated mud on me boots - still not tall though.

(Abi has learnt how to cook spagbol at school, so she cooked it for us Friday evening and this afternoon - to coin a phrase - It's tasty, tasty very very tasty, it's very tasty).

After tea I had the last of the light walking up the local fields.
