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.

The Pennine Bridleway and Reddyshaw Scout, Walsden A 'scout' is the top of a very steep hillside, giving a view over the valley. The lumpy hills below might be spoil from the construction of the railway tunnel.
