The path leading up from the pastures to the saddle between Bole Hill and Wimble Holme Hill is one of the best around Blacka. It hugs the side of the hill satisfyingly and reveals some good views of which my favourite is that overlooking Lenny Hill. This morning's was pleasantly hazy, but none the worse for that.
Some of the other views looking down on Lenny Hill have now been spoiled by the monstrously obtrusive Fairthorn which I'm glad to say cannot be seen from the present walk. ( Letter in today's Sheffield Telegraph on Fairthorn ).The status of this path needs looking into. On the maps it looks as if it's a bridleway but it's hard to believe anyone would try to ride a horse here. Cyclists have been seen gingerly moving along - hardly riding and there was evidence of motor bike tracks. If it is a bridleway I think it should be regraded as PRoW. Nothing should be encouraged on here which could damage the path.
Plenty of deer all around here this morning.
