Comments: | Marie & Sheila joined me for a repeat of Monday's walk with a slightly different descent. The route from Leeming Quarry to Stock Bridge was difficult to navigate at the beginning and then over very wet fields. |
Greengore - again
A footpath is marked on the map at this point . . .
and a waymarker confrims this is the right spot . . .
but are we meant to climb over?
An alternative path misses out a very muddy section on the way to . . .
Spire Hill
Marie exits the trees after we navigate around a path blocked with lots of fallen trees
A clear path leads us through . . .
a section of dense growth . . .
and past an old quarry site
