After lightening my wallet at Queensbury Tesco's this morning- "The friendliest shop in town" I drove over to Wainstalls.
I managed to get a parking place on the main road above the school and then legged down to and along Castle Carr Road for a short distance.
After crossing a stile on the right I followed a good path up the moor , that crosses he Calderdale Way path at a wooden bridge, to the dams.
This path can be quite boggy but today it was as good as it gets really with just the odd boggy bit.
It was a glorious day for a walk and the moorland scenery and views made up for the lack of birds.
As usual its "muck of nettles" here a saying I don't really get - both muck and nettles are unpleasant!
I enjoyed the views as I sat, out of the draught , on a bony rock eating my curds and whey sandwiches for lunch.
Birds:-
3 Red Grouse.
3 Common Gull.
C30 Black Headed Gull looking pristine in the sunshine. (Just 2 first winter birds).
5 Meadow Pipit.
2 Wren. 1 Crow. 1 Magpie. Jackdaw.
Canada Geese calling from somewhere (in french).
2 Starling.
