Today we bused it to Hebden Bridge, shared a scone with a coffee and at 11:20 a.m. set off to walk along the railway , river path to Luddenden Foot.
The weather forecast this morning was definitely 'iffy with strong winds and some showers predicted.
We had no rain and just a slight breeze for company and a few decent birds were on offer as well , so all was good.
At Ludd-foot we called at Sue's friend Helen's for a bun and a coffee before catching a bus to Halifax,
Sue had a look at M&S while I had a look at the Piece Hall buildings.
The 521 bus got us to the end of School Lane and we had a pleasant walk along the track to Bradshaw Park and home.
Great timing with our bus connections today with hardly any waiting about.
Just a small camera on the walk so the photos aren't great.
I had a short sky watch from the garden before tea.
