Last night it had
snowed and we woke up to find several inches of snow had settled so
rather then drive somewhere we had a walk from home.
After walking down
most of Main Street towards Wensley, we followed the public footpath
at Painters Lane then across farmland and through a section of Clough
Wood to again cross some pastureland where a number of ponies were
trying to find grazing beneath the layer of snow.
After crossing a style
in a barbed wire fence where there were loads of animal tracks in the
snow: mainly rabbit and deer, the path led steeply up a wooded slope
then contoured along a further section of Clough Wood in a large arc
arriving at an unsurfaced track of Clough Lane.
Following Clough Lane
westwards passing some farm buildings where there were surprisingly
old lambs for the time of year, we arrived at the narrow minor road
leading from the nearby village of Birchover where there are an old
set of stocks interestingly by the side of the road by a house wall.
Our route now followed
across more fields near Birchover then at a path junction turned
southwards crossing more fields to arrive again at Birchover Lane
near the the road from Wensley to Winster.
