Title: Marseden round, 11 miler
Post by: pleb on 10:35:02, 03/11/16

Yesterday I met my old mate Herbie at Marsden station (beyond Huddersfield in the pennines) for a trip to the pub, er I mean "a ramble on a fine day".

Herbie took me on a detour, think this waterfall was at GR051085, clearly some remnant of industrial quarrying, or summat.

Blakeley res? above...........it was getting rather gloomy, Herbie helpfully decided on a detour over the bracken, cue me falling down a pothole and rolling flat on my [censored] n getting me knees wet on the boggy ground, the first time I ever fell out hiking!
Last time I trust you to navigate, ya berk! >:(

the controversial renovation work on the spillway of Butterley reservoir. We wnt down some steps to visitthe post industrial buildings, on his guidance..................path was closed due to the work n we helpfully have to go up steep steps other side to get back out! >:( >:( >:( it shouldn't be allowed, there oughta be a law against it! Thanks Herbie >:( :P

just what ya need to struggle up after 10 miles................... >:( :tickedoff:
after that twas off to the Riverhead brewery tap in Marsden for a couple of pints of the terrific redbrook premium bitter. We foolishly tried a half each of "White Rat". Yuk. Don't think wheat beer is my thing, somehow.
Great day, shame about the wind! :o
My bus back to Hudds wasn't showing so eventually I made a dash for the 18.29 train back............the bus helpful goin past as I was between stops! >:( :tickedoff:
Caught the train, free ride to Huddersfield :) so it wasn't all bad news.

It's not a problem  - I put my laptop in the floor and lay down next it to look at the sideways ones...  ;)

It does look like a good walk that, Pleb. Enjoyed the pictures and report.  O0

I've  done a bit of walking around Marsden but I've still got plenty to explore in the area and some of the places you went I haven't been too yet. Might head out there when we get some snow, I reckon there could be some good winter walking to be had there.
