Activities

The first really fine and mild evening brought many people out. It brings home just how many people rely on specific activities to engage with these days when once people's enjoyment of countryside was a more relaxed affair. The roads can become race tracks for howling motor bikers. Overhead helicopters roar and microlight aircraft buzz. No walkers on Blacka but midges would put many off. Mountain bikers were well represented though and the main event was a fell run organised by Totley AC over Totley Moor and down through the Blacka pasture land back to the Cricket Inn. There must have been hundreds perhaps attracted by the good weather. But it all looked so strenuous!


No wonder some of the deer had found a quieter section of the pasture land for refuge.
