It wasn’t too bad a day although it wasn’t a day for
climbing hills and good views so the plan was to do a walk around
Thornton. I hadn’t done this walk before
so that made it interesting. I parked up
in Thornton crossed the road and went down the small paved pathway – very slippy
had barely got started downhill before I fell.
It made me walk the rest of the
way down the path very carefully.
The path took me across a stream and up through part of a
golf course. At the top looking back was
a man in the bottom who I think was looking for a golf ball – I think he would
be a long time looking.
The way was to then turn left to West Scholes – I have been
here before – it’s a very pretty place just a small hamlet of really old
properties. From here I went on towards
an old railway bridge (part of the Queensbury Triangle). Going under the bridge and then left through
a stile and along the valley side.
This
then led to a public road (Cockin Lane) quickly turning left onto the Bronte
Way. The way ahead then took me across a
huge sloping meadow aiming towards the Church.
Eventually at the church I came out onto Bradford road to a short walk back
to where I’d parked the car. Good walk
just about 4 miles.
