The weather forecast was for rain by noon today and so I was restricted to another local walk. I caught the Sheffield bus to Conisbrough, travelled to the last stop and then had to walk back along the main road [a section that the bus doesn't use] until I reached a footpath heading south.
The cemetery chapel is quite nice.
When I took the next photograph, looking back towards Conisbrough Castle and the church, I'd just climbed over a broken stile and had stretched my thigh muscles far more than I wanted to.
I passed the ruins of Conisbrough Lodge and continued down to the Braithwell road, turned right heading towards Ravenfield Common and then took the footpath that heads back north.
Near to the village of Ravenfield I met a dog called Colin, in fact I saw a lot of dogs today.
At the hamlet of Firsby I had a choice of locations to head for to finish the walk. The route to Hooton Roberts is slightly shorter and a lot more interesting but the line of the path across a recently ploughed field was still indistinct. Conisbrough Hill Top, going straight ahead was my choice though because rain was in the air by now and there's a bus shelter there.
