| Walk: | River Hodder, Tolkien Trail, Woodfields, Knowle's Brow, Lower Hodder Bridge | ||
| Start Point: | Roadside near Lower Hodder Bridge | Grid Reference: | SD 706 391 |
| Distance: | 2.7 miles | Ascent: | 294 feet |
| Time: | 1 hour 5 minutes | ||
| Weather: | Sunny and hot | ||
| Comments: | Deciding on an easy walk not too far away, I expected the it to be quite busy, but too busy to start from there and decided to continue on to Lower Hodder Bridge where there is a large off roadsection. It never ceases to amaze me that some people prefer to park stragging the kerb alongside a single white line. This could attract 3 points and a hefty fine!!! |

Beside the River Hodder . . .
it's time for a swim . . .
before leaving the water . . .
and having a good shake
Checking out the steps ahead . . .
before looking back to Over Hacking Wood
Countless steps later . . .
we reach a path through the woods before following the road back to the car.
