Had a wet, cold and miserable time attempting the next leg on the Leeds Country Way, Got lost and disorientated and endured the never ending mud and puddles. I eventually turned on the wrong path and ascended up to Bankhouse. Walked on the streets to try and rejoin the trail but gave up and headed to Chapeltown Road for my bus home.

Take Two (Pudsey to Thornbury) (4 miles) - 9th June 2018
What a contrast than to my last attempt!
This walk was a pleasanter experience than my last attempt. To begin with the sun was shining and it was dry though very warm. I was a bit disorientated in Pudsey so I waited at the station for the 205 Dewsbury bound bus for Roker Lake Bottom. There I rejoined the Leeds Country Way...rewalked the stretch until I reached Bankhouse Bottom and I turned on the RIGHT path towards Black Carr Wood, ascended up Westroyd Hill, and reached the Fox and Grapes Pub. I decided to not stop for a drink and continued on my way.
Descended down the hill and ascended up the fields until I reached a railway crossing. Had to wait as a train was passing but crossed once the light turned green. From there walked up Daleside Road towards Bradford/Leeds (A647) Road. I finished my walk and caught the No. 72 bus back to Leeds.
