Barwick in Elmet to Garforth (East Leeds) (5.5 miles) - Sunday 4th February 2018

The weather improved from the previous day with blue skies and sunshine.  Again, Julie joined me and we met in the city centre for the 64 bus which will takes us back to Barwick in Elmet.  Half an hour later we arrived in the village and picked up where we left off.  We reached the muddy fields (a stretch was really bad with the slippery deep mud and took me forever to walk it) towards Scholes.

We reached Scholes and crossed the junction into Bog Lane and we walked through Barnbow Woods and reached a farm where we proceeded towards a slope.  We crossed both the railway line and the M1 Motorway.  There was a nice stretch with a good path towards Barrowby Lane and we walked the final mile or so on the road and eventually crossed over to the Main Street.  We didn't wait long for the 19 bus back to the city centre.

 

A lovely walk of 5.5 miles and we walked approximately 9 miles over the weekend.  The Leeds Country Way adventure continues soon towards the city's south eastern edge

Which way?
