A great day for a walk with bright sunshine as we left home around 9 this morning. The clouds were building during the day, but it remained dry.
It came quite cool by 4:30 as we got home.
We caught a couple of buses - Bradshaw to Town and then Town to Todmorden.
From Tod. we walked along the canal to Luddenden Foot, catching 2 buses to Bradshaw cenotaph.
It was good to chat to JS and DJS who we bumped into near Brearley.
We called at a cafe in Hebden Bridge for a coffee and The Blue Teapot at Mytholmroyd provided our lunch of toasted currant T cake and a pop.
Not many birds moving skywards but we did eyeball enough to keep the interest ticking along nicely.
