The superbly rebuilt footbridge at the bottom of Carver Brow

Spring evening along the river bank


Tracey crossing a stile


She managed it and strides on into the woods


This used to be red rocks


A somewhat redundant stile


Heading towards Roach Bridge


The weir by the old paper mill


The River Darwen is now a lovely River, a few years ago it was just a polluted mess.


Bluebells in the woods off Roach Road


Crossing an old footbridge heading back home


The path seems to be heading up this tree !!!!


And another footbridge in a wooded glade


Tracey ponits the way


From here it's just a 5 minute stroll back home
