The usual walk from Elland to Brookfoot fishing ponds but a bit strapped for time so I missed out a lot of the river paths today.
It was good to chat to JM along the canal and Clifford and Emily at the Ski Lake Railings.
Some work was going on at the lagoon with a digger and a wood chipper was noisy nearby.
I was very lucky with the weather and it became quite warm, that warm in fact I had to parcel my woolly jumper into the rucksack half way along the walk.
Late afternoon I had a walk up the local fields where the weather was completely different with a very strong wind blowing - it stayed dry though.
