Walk round High Green and Wortley 21st October

[scoobz 10]

Well here goes! Encouraged by Taxman I`m proposing A 6/7 mile circular walk, starting from High Green and going thro Westwood Country Park and Wortley Park through to Wortley, and then on towards Wharncliffe Crags and back to High Green via a village called Howbrook.

I`ve done the walk myself and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are great views from the top of Woodhead Road across Barnsley towards Ferrybridge power station, and also across towards Stocksbridge and down to Tinsley.

There is a pub in the middle of Wortley, but unfortunately its shut for refurb at the moment.:-( There is however a tea-room there which is open Sat and Sun.Pubs will be open in High Green I`m sure.All welcome back to my place for a cuppa at the end, I`m at the start and the end of the route!

Bus no 77 from the Interchange or 75 which starts at Bradway comes to High Green via Arundel Gate run hourly Sundays, more regularly Saturdays.I`ve got the times.

The walk is varied. Lots of fields, not much proper pathway, only 2 hills Feargal, and steady ones at that! Might get muddy tho if its been raining.Hope ppl are interested, it`d be worth coming to see Wortley Hall, the home of the Earl of Wharncliffe.
