This time we set off along a route we had not used before. This took us close to the Sandroyd School and its very well kept grounds. They should be good as it is a co-educational Day and Boarding School for children from 3-13 with fees rising to just over £7,300 per term for boarders.
Crossing Woodcuts Common, which is not a common but first a field full of sheep and then one of barley, we noticed that the tracks marked on the map no longer correspond with those on the ground. The route did however seem clear. Somewhere close to Scrubby Barrows I commented on how flat this walk is. As the walk along Bridmore Ride is uphill all the way this contention did not attract a lot of support! |
As we reached the junction with Longcroft Road we saw some very old pine trees that looked as if they could have stepped straight of a Hobbit film - or fillem as they are known as by some. We still had bright blue sky and fluffy clouds as we passed by the Lodges guarding the entrance to the Estate so we stopped to admire the ornate chimneys. |
It was however a most pleasant day's walk.
