Start time of 11:10hrs from Barley car park. Yesterday (Saturday) was a great day and so I was ready for another good walk. Karen was up for it and we decided to do the local favourite, keeping driving to a minimum. Those pub tables will be occupied later, no doubt.

Fields of Barley

Leaving a very busy Barley we chose the path below Lower Black Moss reservoir and into the fields, heading for Windy Harbour Farm.

This was a quiet route to The Steps, a chance to enjoy the fine spring sunshine in peace.
