I went to Sutton to start my walk today, the village the bus reaches before Askern, where I was on Monday.
I walked down the road and specifically remembered to look out for this...it's a genuine sign, this is what the road is called.
The village church is quite pretty, but difficult to photograph from some angles.
I couldn't get as close to this windmill as I did to Wrancarr Mill on Monday.
I then used footpaths and country lanes to reach Kirk Smeaton and stopped to eat my sandwiches there at a lovely spot near to the church.
I took the path on the northern side of the valley which goes along the clifftops before descending into Brockadale. After a few minutes I spotted this makeshift shrine consisting entirely of tiny wooden and plastic doors, there was another one a bit further on as well.
I continued heading west to Wentbridge.
I returned to Kirk Smeaton by walking along the southern bank of the River Went.
Most of my route to Norton would have been alongside the river until I needed to cross some fields and head south but the footpath was blocked because the footbridge going across the Went had been removed. I had to walk along the road instead - it was a few hundred yards longer.
I found a slightly different route to get me back to Askern and caught the bus to Doncaster.
