This time in its summer garb!

Pool in drainage system north of Macks Mill

Looking uncommonly like the standard JCB manufactured duck pond seen on so many properties for the more efficient slaughter of wild fowl this one has actually been created by cattle fore-footing into the mud for a drink.

A right hard stane south-east of Fairnybeds Wood

Shining as if it has been used as a rubbing-post for a century or two and then as a bird-perch in the last month.

The safest place for the emblem - on the periphery amongst the other weeds?

Pond south-east of Fairnybeds Wood near Fawside

No pond is marked on the map so maybe this is a seasonal feature.

Silage crop, Fawside

It is a busy time, catching a short dry spell to cut and collect grass for winter feed. Soon these fields will be cut.

Now rapidly growing. This is a damp area with alders. The nearby road has flood warning signs on it.

Barley, Fawside

My second attempt to get into NT6545, the first was when it was still unvisited, but I was stopped by growing crops. Now there is no longer an access restriction, the barley has been harvested and the neighbouring silage grass fields are being grazed. September is the time to visit those awkward grid squares, but winter crops are becoming more and more popular, and the stubble can be ploughed soon after harvest, as is the usual practice in England.
