1st January 2005 - Woodlesford to Methley and Back

Our New Year's Walk, chosen by Soo as it was local, of the required length (five and a half miles) and did not mention being muddy in places. Well, success on two of the three aims isn't a bad hit rate.

There was little spectacular about the walk. It was a tromp round a riverside, canal paths, roads and fields with not all that much to look at. There were some wild rose plants on the canal bit of the walk, which may be worth remembering if I ever make rosehip wine again.

Soo kept us entertained with the details of her never-to-be-written novel - involving Bayford Caruthers III, an idealistic hero type whose father (a property magnate) met a sticky end involving concrete pillars, and his romantic interest, Kirstie Dalkeith, banished from the home of her father (who now lived in penury but was actually a laird) by her wicked nanny/step-mother and brought up by aged lesbians with three arms between them. Or something. It involved macrame.

I found two brand new Yorkshire Bank Cash Cards, yet to be signed, on a path by a quarry/open cast coal mine belonging to an R. Morrow. I have brought them home and will hand them in on Tuesday when the banks open.

There was a huge diversion which took us through some of the stickiest clay mud known to man. Claire insisted on looking at the map here, increasing our chances of being stuck forever, feeding circling vultures. After getting through this I felt several inches taller and many pounds heavier.

It then began to rain - heavily and insistently. Bah!

You have the following choices:

1. Next Walk

*Noteb*
2. Something else

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
