*AUTMN MORNING WALK

Beautiful countryside !
I enjoyed the walk very much...
...lovely photos :o)

I did as well , absolutely stunning scenery , and to finish up at the garden centre and lunch , heaven ... :o)

What a lovely place to live gorgeous scenery.How lucky you are ducks, heron,a barge plus a garden centre.

Terra please you enjoyed it sure Conker and Truffle would too! PM you later!

Thanks Amy anything that ends up at a garden centre is my idea of heaven too.

Thanks Mavis A liitle old mill town, but surrounded by hills and lovely countryside walks.

Lovely blog PP! It's many a long year since I've been to Uppermill, looks like it's been 'tarted up' a bit since then! It was such a very pretty place, quaint and relatively unspoiled....I'm not so sure I didn't prefer it before the planners got hold of it, though if it's just the new 'marina' that's not too bad.

Trouble with walking to the garden centre is you have then to think very carefully before buying anything - because you've got to walk back home with it!

Those terracotta pumpkins look like they'd save someone hours ( if not years! ) of carving faces out of real ones!

And I've STILL not spotted the heron! ;-( Must try harder!

;-)

Ahah! Got him!!!!!!
Gosh, that took some doing!

;-)

Pleased you found him Bscott! yes Uppermill is a very pretty place but like you say in danger of being overdeveloped which is such a shame, The walk to the garden center is lovely but to far to carry home the birdbath I had my eyes on, but next time in the car perhaps! How come you know Uppermill when you live in Scotland?

What a lovely walk and a lovely destination too. The autumn colours look good and yes it would be my idea of heaven too.
I spent all the war years in Lancashire with my great Aunts and very happy I was too in Great Eccleston.
As Scott said, the only drawback would be that you couldn't carry it all home, but it could be a 'reccy' then go back in the car and LOAD UP.

I'm from Yorkshire, PP, and lived in Holmfirth for 7 years before coming up here....so Uppermill was part of my 'circuit' on days out!
;-)

Lovely blog carole I enjoyed the walk with all that pretty country side.

Sandra its Saddleworth area along the Huddersfield Canal towards the Standedge Tunnel and Holmfirth area, will have to consult my map to pin point correctly lol not much good at navigation!

A lovely walk Pansy. I can see why you like it. Much better than going by car.

Lovely walk with some spectacular scenery - it would take a week to walk there with Chloe!! Looks like you chose a lovely day too. Hope you get back soon for that birdbath :)

Lovely walk blue all the cobwebs away thank-you

thanx carole im sure baz will have an idea, im like you not a good navigator lol

Thanks Toto need to keep up the exercise now Polly's no longer here to spur us on, so leave the car at home whenever we can.

Pleased you enjoyed it Gee no what you mean with Chloe need ot have short gentle walks, the hills around here can be testing. But I wil be back for my birdbath soon!

Thanks Drc nothing like a good walk to blow those cobwebs away.

Lol Sandra, Harry always says I can;t find my way out of a paper bag!

Lovely....I enjoyed that 6 mile walk....no effort at all...:))

Lovely blog and some gorgeous pictures of the country side and cut, love the ducks and the old bridge, seems a bargin 2 for £3.00. Glad you enjoyed your walk I enjoyed it too but I missed out on the lunch lol

My legs are killing me! But it was worth it! Lovely walk! Great pics!

Thank you PP for taking us with you to the GC, what a lovely walk. Your photos have really captured the mood of Autumn.

Thanks Mad nice to meet another Lancs lass, we do have some lovley scenery up North often underestimated.

Thanks Lincs, Irene and Louise especially pretty this time of year with the Autumn colours

Thanks Crazy Di I loved the Pumpkins too!

Thanks Amble nice to meet you, 6miles easy peasy lol

Pleased you enjoyed it Morgana lunch next time perhaps

Pleased you joined us MP shame about the legs though lol!

Thanks Heron its great to get out and appreciate the autumn colours gives you the feel good factor!

:~)) Thats been said before, PP!

Lol Pansypotter thank you, this is right close to where my son in law lives

What a great blog Pp, some wonderful shots of the area. I think I may just take a stroll along your route one day, I live not far from you in Stretford, Manchester so it would be a nice day out.

Like everyone else it was lovely to take a stroll with you to the GC. It was a part of my stomping ground for 14 years and I know how beautiful it is there just nice to be reminded

I enjoyed your walk with you PP, stunning scenery to see and a garden centre as well, what I would call the perfect journey :))

That was so very beautiful Carole, I have never been up to that part of the country, I certainly have missed some gorgeous places. I felt as if I was there with Todd, he would love snuffling about in those leaves. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Morgana, where does you son in law live?

Thanks Bob didnt know we lived so close, My son Robin lives in Northenden and I have Neices and Nephews who live in Sale and Altringham, small world isnt it!

thanks Pip where did you used to live?
Thanks Grindle and Pam so many hidden gems around!

I lived and worked in Brighouse Pp. Though I when going out would often go your side of M62 The house I bought was off Elland Rd so had wonderful views of the river, canal and hills with horses and plenty of walking areas.

Sounds wonderful Pip!

Brighouse does not spring to mind as picturesque but it has some beautiful immediate surrounding areas and I loved it. Though must say Shropshire is beautiful

Fantastic walk - thanks for these beautiful photos. Particularly enjoyed the photos along the canal.

Thanks Bernieh The canal walks are my favourite too so much to see oth old and new, plus not as many hills to climb lol

That would suit me better too ... Lol! It's a lovely part of the world.

It all looks lovely and fresh and green Pp. And the canal pics are great! I spotted the Kingfisher before the Heron....trust me!!!!

Thanks Paul well I nice place to stop and quench your thirst after all the walking lol

Here here! Replace all that energy spent walking!

Thanks for sharing this PP as only seen Saddleworth moor from M62 and no idea such scenery lay the other side of it .

Should really have taken a detour ..lovely.

Thanks BB, yes its a shame it is only famous for the Moors Murders, take a detour through Diggle, Dobcross and Uppermill villages next time!

Yes PP didnt like to mention that as thought it would detract from your lovely blog .. so nice to see another side to it so to speak .

Love to take that detour PP but when on the way to Manchester airport not sure my passengers going to be to thrilled ..lol perhaps on way back ..

Thanks Pp, really enjoyed the scenery and the destination it looks a lovely garden centre. You live in a beautiful part of the country:-)

BB I can understand your passengers on the way to the airport wouldnt appreciate a detour however scenic Lol

BA pleased you enjoyed the walk, I always feel any journey needs a purpose and mine was to get a chance to see what Autumn goodies were on sale at the Garden Centre to tempt me !

Berautiful Carole. I loved all the old bridges. And the autumn colours were lovely.

I enjoyed that walk, longest walk I've been on for years. Most I can mannage these days is, with a lot of effort is 60 yds. When can we go on another one. Frank

Thanks Hywel pleased you enjoyed it!
Hello Frank pleased to meet you and to hear you enjoyed your stroll, my son simon as just finished The Highland Way in Scotland so perhaps you will join us on that one too, when I get round to writing it [We stop off for a tot of whisky at the Brewery just to warm us up]

Thanks I'll be waitng

What a gorgeous part of England you live in - beautiful.

Diggle and Dobcross...oh heck, now you've made me homesick....though they're the 'wrong' side of the Pennines for me ( but very bonny! )....Hebden Bridge and Haworth, Halifax, Huddersfield and Holmfirth ( what a lot of 'aitches' ) are on 'my' side....oh double-heck...I want to go home!

Thanks Rufus love it!

Thanks Bscott I love Hawrth and Holmfirth, not been for a couple of years think Ill take a train ride ;0)

What beautiful countryside, I would really enjoy this walk myself and as I work in a garden centre I love to check out other places to see what they have for sale. My idea of a perfect day!

Sandra :o)

thanks Lab pleased you enjoyed, would love a little job in a garden centre Heaven!
