A sunny Sunday so we decided to go on a Picnic. Ponden Kirk our destination. We all piled into the Ford Freda and drove up to the roadside of Ponden Reservoir. Geared up and got ready for the off. As we were getting ready to go a car drew up asking if we had seen a labradoodle running around as theirs had escaped. We hadn’t seen any dogs and our Bernard was safely on a lead.
It was a lovely day and we all had our sun cream and sun hats on. A stiff climb up past Ponden Hall and the children were already saying are we nearly there yet. It’s a good thing we had brought lots of snacks and yummy things to eat when we got there.
Eventually we were up on the top of the moor and the path was clear to the stream where we were going to picnic. Memories came flooding back of how when I was a child Mum and all the Whites from Marsh used to come up here for the day, picnics, towels, swimsuits we used to spend the whole day here playing building dams, paddling – just messing around. Good times.
We sat and enjoyed our snacks and drinks taking in the beautiful views. You can’t beat the moors. (not in my book anyway). We then set off back around the moor – we never like to go back the way we came.
