Another Colne Valley Walk..

Beautiful blog and photos and what a wonderful area you live in Bloomer! Our weather has been dismal these last few days so no nice scenery shots from me I'm afraid..But this was a pure delight to see and you are always the best of company dear friend....\0/x

Lovely walk Bloomer - one thing I like about GOY is the lovely walks I get to take almost everyday :)
Thoroughly enjoyed that - thanks for the history lesson too :))

Its lovely to see the sun Bloomer, even a few grey days and we forget.....

Its such a lovely area or you to live with beautiful walks, the reservoir looks so calm and peaceful.......xxx

Thank you Flori,you are so kind:o)..we do appreciate where we live..The hills are a bit of a bind sometimes,but they certainly add character to our part of Yorkshire..:o).We were so lucky to have such a lovely day..so warm,I had my jacket off all the time..unlike the past couple of days...just the same here too..pretty grim!

Glad you enjoyed the walk,Scottish..thank you..you have lots of lovely scenery in your part of Scotland too...I like to add a little bit of the history of places we go to.,as I enjoy it as well :o).

Thank you,Pam..the sun is a distant memory now! ..It was very calm by the Reservoir,considering it is so high up..It's not often it's like that,believe me..so we caught it at it's best..:o)

Wasn't it a beautiful day?
That was quite a walk wasn't it but so very interesting. I am impressed with your stamina and am glad you avoided the muddy patch! Such lovely, rolling scenery.

It was,Chris..and a pleasure to get out and about..Lol,about the Stamina..it was all on the flat and downhill ! :o)...there were about three of those darned muddy patches..I clung to the dry stone walls !...Glad you enjoyed a small part of our area..:o)

It is full of charm and character, a lovely spot to live.

Thank you,Chris..we have mainly old stone houses and lovely buildings here..which adds so much to the character of the place..I love them:o)

Thank you,Snoopdog..and I hope you can get out and about very soon..it must be very limiting and frustrating for you ..

Beautiful countryside, Bloomer. Felt as if I was accompanying you on that walk.

A lovely walk Sandra I thoroughly enjoyed walking with you , I would love those big rocks for my garden next time you do the walk please :o)

thank you,Dwyllis,glad you enjoyed the walk with us..we love living here :o)....

There's lovely scenery where you live Sandra.

Thanks Hywel..you and I are very lucky to live among the hills and valleys,aren't we? :o)..

Yes we are :o)

So glad you included the pic of the reservoir - it reminded me of the ones near my birthplace in Sheffield- such a long time since I saw them.

Thanks Stera..glad it brought some nice memories back for you..they look so calming and peaceful,don't they?

Well you sure picked the best day for your outing Sandra, it looks grand in your photo`s and I`m very relieved you didn`t have a mishap negotiating the muddy bits, lol, I realised looking at your pics that its ages since we took a walk around Rutland Water, you`ve now given me a yearning, lol....

A lovely walk - and so interesting. Thanks for sharing. :o)

Oops,Sorry Amy,I missed you out there..It must have been while I was out looking for some rocks for you.Lol. thank you for your nice comment..:o)

Thanks Sue..we certainly did pick the best day,didn't we?
I would wait a while before you revisit Rutland..not exactly walking weather this week ! Same again today,dark,damp and foggy..only thing going for it,it isn't cold ...but would prefer it to this..Looks like it will be,by weekend !

Thank you,Nariz..not as spectacular as your lovely mountains,but high enough for me :o)

My goodness Sandra, that was some walk! Your Blog was really interesting to read...I loved the photos..you're a real 'David Bailey' I know the area quite well, although it's many years since I've walked around it...perhaps I should put that right when I'm germ free and the sunshines again.
The picture of Colne Valley certainly brought back memories...as did the horse riders...I used to hire a Hack from a riding school at the top of Varley Rd ...don't know if it's still there..and often rode the route you took...I was probably responsible for my share of churned up pathways :0

Glad you enjoyed it,Waddy..nice to bring some good memories back,isn't it ? ..The walk behind the School is a favourite of ours..but we don't usually do the Reservoir
as well ! I don't know if there is still one at the top of Varley road..and I'm not walking up it to find out ! Lol.
hope you are feeling better today..the weather is so miserable again.:o(.....I did a couple of blogs a while ago,about Slaithwaite,and other places round about..if you have nothing better to do till you get better,or get outside ,. you may want to have a look ,it will pass a bit of time on :o) I love your new Avatar of Freya..what a little charmer :o)

Well a lovely breath of fresh air and Gorgeous scenery on our ramble Sandra very enjoyable and I managed to gettheironing done at the same timelol seriously we will have to walk it together some fine day ;0))

Thank you ,Carole,,Now if only you hadn't been putting your garden to bed,you would have been very welcome to come with us..and yes,a good way to contend with the Ironing..hope there isn't a scorch mark on Harry's best shirt..He will have to sit on his own,for dinner ! Lol.

Thats an idea, he wont be able to pinch my dinner then lol

Or mine,Russell's and the Captains ! Lol..poor Harry,we do give him some stick,don't we? ..only joking folks,he isn't really like that..if you keep an eye on him :o)))

Sometimes 'spectacular' is too much - you just want 'rolling, green and peaceful' for a change, but I have to say, a week in Essex, pretty though the countryside is, makes me appreciate my mountains even more when I return! ;o)

I agree,Nariz..I love visiting other places too,and flat is nice for a change..but give me the hills and Valley's anytime :o)..We visit Lincolnshire to see friends sometimes,and lovely as it is,I get excited going over a speed hump on the journey! Lol...although the Wolds have nice gentle ups and downs .:o))

'Gentle' is what we don't have here! 'Rugged', 'craggy', 'rocky' and any other variation on that description, but 'gentle'? No. :o)

Lol,Nariz..you are much more robust than me..I would fall at the first hurdle ..or Mountain ! :o)

Lovely hedgerow roses and hips, just what I want in my garden!

Thank you,Dixie..the Hips were so large and vibrant..I hope you get some for your garden..
