Walking for Health walk

Today we had a group of 6 for a shortish 2 1/2 mile walk around Castle Hill. The sun gods were shining on us once again, and given the amount of wet stuff that has come out of the sky lately we were very lucky.

We met at Jubilee Tower, Castle Hill, Huddersfield at 11 am then dropped down the steps and found the footpath towards Castle Houses. From Castle Houses we made our way over to Farnley Hey and then down to Molly Carr Wood. It was then a steep climb up to The Lumb and then a final push back up to the car park on Castle Hill, just as the rain arrived

Total distance was 4 km or 2.5 miles, during the walk we saw Hawthorn, Common Orange Lichen, Skylark, Robin, Twite and a Willow Warbler, but unfortunately I hadn’t taken my camera.

A nice easy walk for the group, some of whom are carrying injury from various knee operations. A perfect little get together for anyone recovery from an illness or injury and wanting to get out walking.
