View from Todmorden Road near Summit The hillside is 'access land', and also a footpath goes across the view, climbing towards the right. There are spoil heaps from quarries on the skyline. It looks to be a nice area to explore some time.

Not quite on the Rochdale Way, Walsden After passing the Ferny Hill rocks I lost the footpath, so headed for the intake wall and picked my way through the rushes. The shower of rain has finished here and is crossing the valley in the distance.

Road closure, Calderbrook Road, Walsden This seems rather unnecessary, as you would have to get through a locked barrier to reach this point from Littleborough. However the defective road is in two council areas; this part is in Calderdale.
