River Hodder in Paper Mill Wood The river in a particularly pleasant setting - but the footpath I was following completely disappeared and progress through the woods is almost impossible due to the extreme steep sided nature of the terrain.
No footpath signs were in evidence, although I found a battered stile which was beyond useless.
