Bradshaw - Soil Hill Circular

Christmas shopping this morning (by bus) ugh!

This afternoon I walked out of the house backwards (Sue thought I was coming in) and sloped off along the fields, through the farms to Ned Hill Road, bottom.

A grunt or three got me to Ned Hill Track and some further grunts got me to the top of Soil Hill.

I stayed on the main tracks today on the lookout for a Snow Bunting but failing to find one.

Plenty of snow and scenery and pretty cold as the sun went down, but few birds up there, which was to be expected.

Home via Percy Rd and Taylor Lane.
