Big B******* Walking club - The next step...

Officially we seem to have run out of places to walk to within the confines of Barnsley, so we’re now starting to get creative with the walks that we’re doing.  Given that there’s two of us, and that we’ve got two cars, one option that we’ve been experimenting with these last two weeks, is the idea that we can drive to a place in one car, walk all the way back to the house, and then use the other car to go get the first car without having to walk all the way back...

Thereby circumventing the need for having a circular route...


There may come a time when we will walk so far that all routes are circular...



So we started at Newmillerdam, with a route that winds 6.5 miles back to my front door, and on the way, we discovered that there are prebuilt tents all over Newmiller, all you need is a sheet...



Nearly sunset is the best time to walk



It’s not so far down if you walk another mile...



Yes, this mile...



Bridges never stop being awesome...



Ever...



Ever...



Ever...



Ever...


Ever...



A Species of flower no one could identify...



We know from bitter experience that this bush hurts if you try and get through it...



See those lights?  That’s where we started...



The best of sunsets...



Some looney (that’d be lee) wanted to do a big hill at the end of the walk...



And I’ve never understood the end of mad max three so much as that point at the top of the hill, when I looked down to see the lights in my study on.

"Cause we knows there come a night, when they sees the distant light, and they'll be comin' home."
