Southowram to Brighouse Walk / Local Fields

We parked the car in Brighouse late morning and caught the bus to Southowram to walk back to Brighouse, through the woods and along the canal and river.

A cold bright day where we called at the Cromwell N.R. cafe for a welcome cake and coffee break.

Nothing 'new' on the Ski Lake, although I only had a quick stop and took a few photos.

Late afternoon I had a walk along the local fields to Ned Hill Road bottom and back.
