I spent a very pleasant couple of nights at Woodlesford and on my walk into town to top up with supplies I ascend a hill which used to be mine workings and the views were stunning. Unfortunately I do not know how to create a panoramic photo but you will get the overall impression of the 360 deg views.

| Ferrybridge power station, about 10 miles away |
I travel down the river Aire to the junction at Castleford and, after
topping up with water, decide to have a sortie up the river Calder. It
proved to be a very good decision as I found a wonderful spot with lots
of friends for James to play with.

They got on very well so I ended up staying for 4 nights.

| The double aqueduct at Stanley Ferry |
On one of the days I travel up to Stanley Ferry as there is a shop there
and I need some fresh vegetables - no luck, they only have potatoes and
onions, but it was a nice trip.
On one of my walks I see this "weed", which I have not seen before.
It was a lovely few days sojourn but I need supplies, so time to move on.
