This walk was completed in gloriuous walking conditions, cold, dry with plenty of bright sunshine. Not quite shorts weather but nearly there!
This walk had plenty of variety, including the impressive Neolithic burial site at Bridestones, the picturesque St., Lawrence's church above Rushton Spencer, and the gem of all today, Boseley Cloud. The views from this small gritstone outcrop were magnificent, made all the better for being bathed in sunshine. It wasn't difficult to see why this place was an attraction for so many people, young and older alike on a day like this.
Birds seen or herard today included: Blue tit, Great tit, Great tit, Carrion crow, Robin, Jackdaw, Grey heron, Greenfinch, Bullfinch, Fieldfare, Redwing, Blackbird, Long-tailed tit and a flock of Willow tits that flitted delightfully in the tree tops around us for several minutes. Only four of us enjoyed the hospitally and a pint or two of the best bitter in the world that you always get at the Wilkes Head in Leek.
