Lee Mill - Sunday 9th January 2011

This walk was recommended by Lorraine and so Dave, Teresa, Bob, Lorraine and Jet set off from Lee Mill village.  Builders have diverted the footpath but that didn't really affect the walk.  Very muddy in places.
The start of the walk from Lee Mill

Diverted footpath

A stile, a bridge and steps.... simple... says Bob

What a view!  The moors in the distance, and Slade Viaduct in the middle
We had stopped to listen to a woodpecker

Tramping through thick mud mmmmm

Slade Viaduct

Slade Viaduct, with the old one along side.

Slade ( not of Noddy fame!)

Drive away from Slade House, with horse and rider in the distance

Corntown Cross with the moors in the back ground  ( see Two Moors Walk)

Jet and Bob leading the way

The way was so wet
A round walk of about 5 miles, stiles were no problem for 3 year old Jet, but Bob had to be lifted over quite a few.  He is feeling very stiff after the 12 mile walk yesterday!  Lunch at the Westward Inn made up for it a bit!

  1. The viaduct photos were cool.
    Hey Bob you are doing great...you have earned your lifts over the stiles.
