247 Saturday 14th December 2024 Healey to LIttleborough

 As  the  forecast  was  decent, I  chose a continuation of  our  stations  walk. We  drove  to  Healey  Corner where  we  had  a  brief  refreshment  break at a sandwich shop  before  setting  off. We  headed  up  Ending  Rake  with  its  unusual  archway.


We  soon got our  first view  of  distant  Littleborough.


We  walked along the embankment of the  disused Brown House  Wham Reservoir.


We  walked through the  fields  and  past  one  or  two  farms into  Wardle village.


The  rest  of  the  walk was  very  familiar  territory  for  me. We  walked along  Pedlar  Brow Lane  towards  Littleborough. We  then  ascended the  Hundred  Steps to  the  top  of  Birch Hill, noting  a  new  handrail on  the  right.


This  was  the  view  over  to  Littleborough  from  the  top.


We  dropped over  the  other  side  into Dearnley  where  we  paid  a  visit  to my  parents' grave.


We  then  walked into  Stubley  and  up  the  ABC  Steps to  reach  Littleborough via the  canal towpath.


We  went   to  the  Coffe  on  the  Corner  cafe  for  a  late  lunch  then took  a  couple  of  buses  back to Healey.
