A free day today - I'll pay for it later this week I guess - with the ladies over at Ruth's to do some pottery.
I had a run up to Roper Lane early on where the temperature was a cold 2 degrees.
I had a walk down the track to check out the top of the Oats Royd Area.
After lunch I had a 'leisurely' walk through the farms up Ned Hill Road , a quick look at Ned Hill Track and back to the road and a quick look along Soil Hill Main Track as far as the quarry and back - Percy Rd, Taylor and Bradshaw Lanes.
2 degrees at Roper Lane in a cold breeze but the day improved and it was really pleasant this afternoon.

Skylark, Kestrel, 5 Linnet, Pr. Bullfinch.
Sparrowhawk overhead flew down to Holdsworth.
