I was required to state my destination when I scanned my bus pass this morning, the driver told me it's a new policy for Andrew's Coaches. Most days when I go walking I've already decided in advance where I'm going , but not this morning, I was planning to study my map and also see what the weather was like...so, after a few moments I decided to opt for Heatherdene.
I took some photographs of Ladybower Reservoir and walked across the dam wall.
There are two of the gigantic plugholes, properly known as 'bellmouth spillways' - I could hear the sound of the gushing water from quite a distance away.
I walked along the Thornhill Trail to Thornhill; the wooden carvings I photographed depict animals that are no longer found in the area - there are more than two of them. I did actually snap a third one but the image was out of focus.
I took a path going across the fields down to the main road that goes along the Hope Valley and after a few hundred yards reached Brough and the footpath to Hope that starts at the Roman fort of Navio - notice on the sign that the letter 'A' has been painted over, this is because the fort used to be incorrected called 'ANAVIO.'
It wasn't a very good day for photography but it brightened up as the bus approached Sheffield and when I arrived back home in Doncaster it was sunny.
