This leg of the boundary walk started at Tankersley church and took a circuitous route to Wortley. Although the finish was only four miles away by road we had to walk over 11 miles to get there. The upside is that the walk goes through pleasant countryside and woodland.
Once again we had an unseasonably warm and sunny day as we, that is Colin, Bev, Jen and me left the church to walk through fields and small woods to Westwood Country Park then turned sharply to the north towards Howbrook and circled back south to Woodhead road via Smithy Fold and Hazelshaw farm.

Here the character of the countryside changed from meadows to heathland as we skirted Wharncliffe Chase into Wharncliffe Wood.

We followed the trails through the wood and eventually up onto open ground on top of Wharncliffe Crags form there it was downhill through the woods to the car.
