Autumn Colours At Wharncliffe Crags

We had a ride up to Wharncliffe Crags yesterday, we've known about this place for ages but have never been able to find a way to get up there. We bit the bullet and went for it, then after a bit of scouting, we found that Station Road in Deepcar was the best place to park. There is a public footpath off that road which leads into the woods and then you basically follow the paths that lead upwards.

It's a very picturesque place, the Autumn trees against the golden brown of the bracken were beautiful. The view of Deepcar and Stocksbridge from the top of the crags is fantastic, only marred slightly by the numerous power lines in the area.

I'm so glad we went yesterday, today it's blowing a gale and the rain is lashing down, not fit for venturing far from the sofa!

Wharncliffe Wood

Had a good four hour walk around Wharncliffe Wood this afternoon, would have been a bit quicker if the routes were marked a little better!

The Autumn colours are starting to come through now and the leaves are steadily falling, I'm hoping to get out and catch some of those golden browns over the next few weeks.

Return To The Meadow

Had a quick wander round the meadow this afternoon, on the hunt for butterflies. There are still loads of those Six Spot Burnet Moths about but there was also plenty more to chase about in the sunshine.

Just to keep us on our toes, we had to be extra quick in getting any shot before Lucy came to investage what we were looking at!
