Friezland rest

Join me on our regular Greenfield round, halting here for a moment to take in this splendid view over the area known as Friezland up to Lydgate. The stretch we are currently walking is along the very old railway line, now a linear park towards the large villages of Greenfield and Uppermill. We will return after around another 7km, a little way beyond those cottages along the canal.

Enjoy full screen.

Have a great day

You are quite right Stephan. Always good to look for something red (or when using Kodachrome -something Yellow!)

Such a delightful glimpse of the houses and farm building over the hedge. Good to see some sheep in the shot.........and the red car stands out very well, drawing the eye nicely.

A corker of a shot!

I enjoy walking along old railway routes.......here in the south they're generally easy(ish) terrain wise and usually dry :-)

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Hi Keith. As we grow older, we are taking more and more of these routes, as you say, they are flat and mostly dry. Unfortunately most have copious amounts of surrounding trees along the route too which is a double edged sword. The car was just a fortunate accident. Glad you liked it.

Cheers. Herb

Keith Burton ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

I've pretty much got to that stage already Herb........neither my wife or I are able to walk long distances nowadays and I struggle to carry heavy equipment too. I'm seriously considering giving up driving this year as well..!!

I remember the spasmodic North Western bus service running from Friezland to Newhey in my school days. The name Freizland always conjoured up far distant places!

Nice view Herb. HBM and best wishes for the new week.

Looks very nice walking area Herb,.. and as previous comments go - these usually resurfaced redundant tracks are great for easier walks.. // A ''H.B.M'' to you - and keep well too - from Dj.
